Disable or Delete a Policy

As your network security requirements change, you can disable or delete the policies in your configuration.

When you modify, delete, or disable a policy in your configuration, the policy change is applied to all future connections to or from your network. If a connection is active when you make the policy configuration change, the connection remains active until the connection is ended or your Firebox reboots.

To disable a policy, from Fireware Web UI:

1. Select Firewall > Firewall Policies or Firewall > Mobile VPN IPSec Policies.
2. Double-click the policy.
   Or, select the policy. From the Action drop-down list, select Edit Policy.
3. Clear the Enable check box.
4. Click Save.
