6.7.1. Procedure – Creating and managing policies

To create a new policy, complete the following steps.

1. Navigate to Zorp > Policies and click the New button under the policies list.

2. Enter a name for the policy and select the type of the new policy from Policy type combobox. If a policy or a policy group (for example, NAT policy) is selected, the combobox is automatically set to the same type.

   

   Figure 6.63. Defining new policies

   Note
   Custom policy classes can be created using the Class editor. However, this is only recommended for advanced users.

3. Configure the parameters of the new class on the right side of the panel. Existing policy classes can be modified here as well.

   Tip
   To disable a policy or a matcher, use the local menu (right-click the selected policy). Disabled policies will be generated into the configuration files as comments. To duplicate a policy, use the Copy and Paste options of the local or the Edit menu.
