FDM-Managed Access Control Policy

You can use CDO to manage the access control policy of an FDM-managed device. The access control policy controls access to network resources by evaluating network traffic against access control rules. The FDM-managed device compares the criteria of the access control rules, in the order they appear in the access control policy, to the network traffic. When all the traffic conditions in an access control rule are

• Trust—Allow traffic without further inspection of any kind.

• Allow—Allow the traffic subject to the intrusion and other inspection settings in the policy.

• Block—Drop the traffic unconditionally. The traffic is not inspected.

If none of the rules in the access control policy match the network traffic, the FDM-managed device takes the default action listed below the access control rules.
