The Policy Manager display includes:
Pull-down menus
Menus that provide access to most configuration and administration tasks.
Toolbar
A row of buttons immediately below the pull-down menus. Each button
corresponds to a frequently performed Policy Manager task. Position the
mouse over the button to view a tooltip and explanatory status bar text.
Services Arena
A large, open panel that displays icons to represent each network service.
Double-click an icon to display the Properties dialog box, where you
configure access controls and logging for that service.
Changing the Policy Manager view
Policy Manager includes two view options: Basic and Advanced. The Advanced view
displays less frequently used commands. To toggle between the Policy Manager Basic
and Advanced views, select View => Advanced.
Service icons beginning with “wg_” are created automatically when you enable
features such as PPTP and authentication. These icons appear only in the Advanced
view. The “wg_” service icons rarely require modification. WatchGuard recommends
leaving “wg_” icons in their default settings.
Much of this User Guide is devoted to configuring and administering a network
security policy using Policy Manager.
