Create the Access Rules at the Main Office
In this example, we want the clients on both the main and branch office networks to have full
access to all resources on each network. We must create Access Rules to allow traffic from
the main office to the branch office and from the branch office to the main office.
Perform the following steps to create Access Rules that allow traffic to move between the
main and branch offices:
1. Click the Firewall Policy node in the left Pane of the console. Click the Tasks tab in the
Task Pane. Click Create New Access Rule.
2. On the Welcome to the New Access Rule Wizard page, enter a name for the rule in the
Access Rule name text box. In this example, enter Main to Branch. Click Next.
3. On the Rule Action page, select Allow and click Next.
4. On the Protocols page, select All outbound protocols in the This rule applies to list.
Click Next.
5. On the Access Rule Sources page, click Add.
6. In the Add Network Entities dialog box, click the Networks folder and double click the
Internal network. Click Close.
7. Click Next on the Access Rule Sources page.
8. On the Access Rule Destinations page, click Add.
9. In the Add Network Entities dialog box, click on the Networks folder and then double
click on the Branch network. Click Close.
10. Click Next on the Access Rule Destinations page.
