Stale Rule Report¶
AFM also can list out stale rules within the device its self. You must first enable the feature.
- Navigate to Security > Reporting > Settings > Reporting Settings.
- Ensure Collect Stale Rules Statistics is checked under the Network Firewall Rules Section.
- Click Save before proceeding.
Navigate to Security > Reporting > Network > Stale Rules.
Refresh the web page we’ve been testing (http://10.1.20.11) several times to see data populate into the rules.
Note
It could take 60+ seconds for data to populate after refreshing the page.
This information is quite useful for keeping a rule base tidy and optimized.
Take a few minutes to inspect the other reports. (Security > Reporting > Network)
Note
Only the Enforced Rules will contain data.
This concludes the Advanced Multilayer Firewall Protection Lab. We hope you found this information valuable.
