Navigating Layers

Step 1

While editing your Snort 2 policy, click Policy Layers in the navigation panel. To access your Snort 2 policy, choose Policies > Intrusion > Intrusion Policies tab and then click Snort 2 against the policy you want to edit.

Step 2

You can take any of the following actions to navigate through your layers:

• Access a preprocessor or advanced settings page — If you want to access a layer-level preprocessor or advanced setting configuration page, click the feature name in the row for the layer. Configuration pages are read-only in the base policy and in shared layers.
• Access a rule page — If you want to access a layer-level rule configuration page filtered by rule state type, click Drop and Generate Events, Generate Events, or Disabled in the summary for the layer. No rules are displayed if the layer contains no rules set to the selected rule state.
• Display the Policy Information page — If you want to display the Policy Information page, click Policy Summary in the navigation panel.
• Display a layer summary page — If you want to display the summary page for a layer, click the layer name in the row for the layer or, alternately, click Edit () next to a user layer. You can also click View () to access the read-only summary page for a shared layer.

Step 3

To save changes you made in this policy since the last policy commit, click Policy Information, then click Commit Changes.
