Best practices for access control rules

Configuring and ordering access control rules properly is essential to protect your network.

Consider these best practices to achieve optimal results:

  • Always evaluate device compatibility of access control rules before deployment.

  • Ensure resources, such as physical memory and processors, can handle expanded rule criteria.

Note

Ensure the system evaluates all rules together and creates a set of criteria for devices when you deploy configuration changes. You cannot deploy to a device if these criteria exceed its resources.
