Step 3: Order the Rules
1. On the Policy Editor dialog box, click a rule.
2. Click Move Up or Move Down to move the rule up or down one line. You
can also select a rule and drag it up or down.
The rules are applied in the order in which they are listed. The rule at the
top of the list is applied before all rules below it, for example.
See “Importance of Rule Order” on page 27 for more information about order-
ing rules.
To modify a rule
In order to apply your rule to a communication, the computer with which you
are attempting communication must have a rule with matching settings. If you
have already coordinated rules with the other computers with which you wish to
communicate, modifying your rule will require modification to rules for other
computers.
1. Before you modify a rule, check the following:
• If you have already set up matching rules for other IPSec computers,
DO NOT follow the steps below.
• If you have not set up matching rules for other IPSec computers, con-
tinue with the steps below.
2. In the Policy Editor dialog box, select rule you want to modify.
3. Click Edit Rule. The Edit Rule dialog box appears.
4. Make changes, as necessary, then click OK.
Customize Destination Workgroups
A destination workgroup is a collection of computers with which your computer
communicates. For example, if your computer requires specific security when
communicating with the Research & Development Workgroup, your policy
must include a rule with security settings that specifies the Research & Develop-
ment Workgroup as the destination workgroup, and Research & Development
computers must have a rule specifying the same security settings and your com-
puter as the destination workgroup.
The following destination workgroups are available:
• Everybody: Use this destination workgroup when you want the rule to
apply to communication with all computers on your LAN.
• Destination workgroups you create.
If a computer or group of computers you need is not in the destination work-
group list, create a new destination workgroup.
To create a new destination workgroup
1. On the Policy Editor dialog box, select the rule for which you want a new
destination workgroup.
