General Information on Connection Activation
The Connection Activation panel is used to generate the Connection Rules
and to make these rules the active set
through which the firewall evaluates datagram traffic received
by either the secure or non-secure interfaces. Rule generation is based
upon the configurations defined in the Connection Setup window and all of its
subsidiary configurations (i.e., Services, Rule Templates, and Socks Templates).
Rules can also be generated depending upon settings in the Security Policy panel.
Additionally, the Connection Activation panel allows you
to validate these configurations and it allows you to deactivate the
Connection Rules.
The figure below illustrates how the activation function generates
connection rules from connection configurations and places them
into the active set of rules running on the firewall.
