Hi,
I’ve noticed that if I set up a Global Rule in my Network Security Policy, the “All” option doesn’t work. This section is found in the Firewall GUI through Firewall>Advanced>Network Security Policy>Global Rules
For example:
Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: In/Out
Source Address: Any
Destination Address: 192.168.123.17
Source Port: Any
Destination Address: Port 80
This does not allow another PC on my network to access 192.168.123.17
But the following does:
Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP or UDP
Direction: In/Out
Source Address: IP Range - Start IP: 192.168.123.0, End IP: 192.168.123.255
Destination Address: 192.168.123.17
Source Port: Any
Destination Address: Port 80
The Source Address option of “Any” seems to black all source addresses. No “Exlude” options were used in any part of the setup of this rule.
The Global Rules list appear in the following order in both working and non-working cases:
- Allow All Outgoing Requests
- Block All Incoming Requests
- Incoming Web (this is for the setup described above)
