Hi Paddy,
Is there a difference (semantically) between the terms:
If you are un details, there are differences The Policy is the law. The Configuration is what you do to enforce the law
Firewall Policy
That describes how the firewall should be used, and what it shoud do.
Firewall Configuration
That describes how the firewall is configured so it respect the usage rules (the Policy). This refer to firewall rules
Firewall Policy Configuration
IMHO, that does not really have a meaning
Firewall Configuration Policy
That describes how the firewall should be configured Usually, the rules from that kind of Policy are operationnal rules: managing admin password, who can access the firewall, from where, etc.
Or do they all refer to the same thing (i.e a set of firewall rules)?
Hope I answer your point. JDG _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
