Access Lists Vs Security Policy Tabs

In Firewall-1 Properties dialog, what is the difference between the tabs that are named Access Lists and Security Policy. Both contain nearly identical options. For example, both contain:



Accept RIP



checkboxes. The Security Policy tab applies this checkbox to accept this type of traffic before security policy rules are applied. It's not clear why the option is then duplicated in Access Lists, and how is this tab different in scope?


With the OSE license, you can manage the access lists for a Cisco router from the checkpoint console.

The access list tab applies to the Cisco access lists for the Cisco devices in the Smartcenter defined as an OSE device

Security policy applies to Checkpoint enforcement modules running CP
