Editing precedence order value of firewall template
When you create a new firewall template, the precedence is automatically assigned to the firewall template. By default, any new firewall template that you create gets the lowest precedence in the application type. Setting a lower precedence order value ensures a higher significance of the firewall template.
Significance of setting the firewall template precedence
When you create a firewall template, the type of application that you select/enter is listed under the business application drop-down in the security assessment questionnaire in the vSphere Web client that the server administrator responds to. Each firewall template belongs to an application type. Multiple firewall templates can belong to the same application type.
When the server administrator responds to the security assessment in vSphere Web client and selects the business application, the firewall template that gets associated depends on the precedence order value that is set from this page.
- To update the precedence order value
- Go to theManage > Firewall Templatespage ofOperations Director.
- Select the firewall template and clickEdit Precedence Order.
- TheOrdercolumn in the grid is enabled for editing.
- Type the precedence order value and save the changes.
Following are some points to be noted while setting the precedence order value:
- Precedence order value must be a number from 1 through 999.
- Precedence order value of a firewall template must be unique for an application type.
