The Network policies section contains four subsections:
-
Firewall
-
NAT & routing
-
Load balancing
-
Traffic shaping
Using network policies, your network administrators will be able to organize Internet access for users, publish internal resources on the Internet, and efficiently balance network bandwidth between services and applications.
Important! Rules created in these sections are applied from top to bottom in the same order as they are displayed in the console.
