Guy: >>What would be the added feature of this ??? >> <snip> None, other than ease of FW management. If administrating multiple segmented networks configured in a failover environment, multiple firewalls (four or more) with unique yet similar rule bases, and multiple known temporary rules for each network, it is much easier with a limited IT staff to have a rule disable itself after, say, two weeks automatically than to remember that on date X, rule 20 on network A must shut off, and on date Y, rule 18 on network B must shut off five days after that. >You can specify an exact date and length of time with a time object then >insert that object into the rules time field. > >Russ Aspinwall, A+, Network+, I-Net+, CIW Associate >Network Administrator >Kalamazoo College Russ: Another question: When the applied time object shuts the rule off, does it re-push the entire policy?
