Inbound and outbound rules can be created, deleted, enabled, and disabled in
the Inbound and Outbound Rules section. The properties of each rule, as shown
in Figure 4.31, are similar to those used in Microsoft’s Internet Security and
Acceleration Enterprise Level Firewall. Each rule has six tabs, including General,
Programs and Services, Computers, Protocols and Ports, Scope, and Advanced.
If the rule is predefined, as shown in Figure 4.32, some of the properties of the
rule cannot be modified.
