policy
Use the policy commands to define policies to control network traffic.
A policy is a set of rules that determines how traffic passes between security zones (interzone
policy), between interfaces bound to the same zone, and between addresses in the Global zone
(global policy). When the device attempts to pass a packet from one zone to another, between
two interfaces bound to the same zone, or between two addresses in the Global zone, the device
checks its policy lists for a policy to permit such traffic.
For example, to allow traffic to pass from one security zone to another, you must configure a policy
that permits zone A to send traffic to zone B. To allow traffic originating in zone B to flow to zone
A, you must configure another policy permitting traffic from zone B to zone A. Also, the global
policy is used to enable and disable port-attacks.
