Netscreen 5gt

So why does netscreen have both "approve" and "deny" policies? I mean isn't everything that isn't approved automatically (logically) denied?


Assume you want to allow an IP range, but want to exclude one or more subranges.

I guess that makes sense. The thing that got me was that when I put the thing into "home-work" mode it had a default set of four policies;

untrust to work =3D deny untrust to home =3D deny home to work =3D permit work to home =3D deny

Since the default is "deny" it seems that three of the four policies accomplish nothing.

I'm not familiar with Netscreen, but don't these policies *define* the default behavior?

I'm happy now. All I need is...

home to untrust =3D permit work to untrust =3D permit
