Firewall Drafts
A draft is a complete distributed firewall configuration with policy sections and
rules. Drafts can be auto saved or manually saved, and immediately published or saved for
publishing at a later date.
To save a manual draft firewall
configuration, go to the upper right of the distributed firewall screen and click . After saving, the configuration can be viewed by selecting the
Saved Drafts
tab. Auto drafts are enabled by default.
Auto drafts can be disabled by going to , and toggling the Auto Save Drafts
bar to off.
When auto drafts are enabled, any changes to a firewall configuration results in a
system generated autodraft. A maximum of 100 auto drafts and 10 manual drafts can be
saved. Auto drafts can be edited and saved as a manual draft, for publishing now or
later. To prevent multiple users from opening and editing the draft, manual drafts
can be locked. When a draft is published, the current configuration is replaced by
the configuration in the draft.
