The Engine Editor and how it works

The Engine Editor combines all Engine configuration information into one view that is easy to access and navigate. You can quickly save and validate all changes using the Engine Editor toolbar.

The Engine Editor has the following branches:

  • General — General Engine settings
  • Interfaces — Interface configuration
  • Routing — Routing and antispoofing configuration
  • Add-Ons — Settings related to Engine add-ons and additional services.
  • Policies — Information about the Security Policy used on the Engine and settings related to element-based NAT and Aliases. Also contains settings for Automatic rules
  • VPN (Firewalls only) — Settings related to the VPN configuration and SSL VPN configuration
  • Advanced Settings — Advanced Engine settings (Traffic Handling, SYN Rate Limits, Log Handling, Scan Detection, DoS Protection, Idle Timeouts, and Tunneling)

The available branches can vary depending on the type of Engine.

You can use the Engine Editor to edit or view an Engine configuration:
  • To edit an Engine, right-click the Engine, then select Edit.
  • To view an Engine, right-click the Engine, then select Preview. You can also double-click the Engine.
