Enable and disable DNS rules

Enable or disable DNS rules to control whether the system uses them to evaluate network traffic and generate warnings and errors.

When you create a DNS rule, it is enabled by default. If you disable a rule, the system does not use it to evaluate network traffic and stops generating warnings and errors for that rule. When viewing the list of rules in a DNS policy, disabled rules are dimmed, although you can still modify them. Note that you can also enable or disable a DNS rule using the DNS rule editor.

Follow these steps to enable or disable DNS rules:

Procedure

Step 1

In the DNS policy editor, right-click the rule and choose a rule state.

Step 2

Click Save.

The DNS rule state is updated. Disabled rules appear dimmed in the policy rule list but can still be modified.
