How Policy is Applied to Routes
Your
General considerations
You should remember that when a route has been satisfied the remaining routes are ignored. For example, when considering the route list as described in the above section, if traffic matches the route Everyone to Security Risks, any content rules for the route will be applied after which no further routes are processed. Therefore, when creating and positioning routes, you need to consider the following:
- Routes that allow or block access to particular zones should be placed at the top of the table.
- Below this, establish the most stringent acceptable use policy for allowing traffic that does not match another route.
- Routes for individuals or groups that are created to exempt them from rules should be placed higher in the table.
