84 Firebox X Edge e-Series
Configuring common services for outgoing traffic
By default, the Firebox X Edge allows all traffic to go out to the external network. This is because the
common service called Outgoing is set to Allow. When the Outgoing common service is set to Deny, all
outgoing traffic is blocked. When the Outgoing common service is set to No Rule, traffic that is not spe-
cially permitted is blocked.
The Outgoing common service and other common services are found on the Firewall > Outgoing
page.
• To allow all traffic from the trusted and optional networks to get to the external network, you
must set the Outgoing common service to Allow.
• To allow only specified traffic from the trusted and optional network to get to the external
network, you must:
- Set the Outgoing common service to No Rule.
- Select other common services and set them to Allow.
Note
To limit traffic sent from the trusted or optional networks not specified in a common service, you must
create a custom service.
About custom services for outgoing traffic
A custom service for outgoing traffic is necessary if:
• You must allow outgoing traffic for a service that is not on the common service list.
• You must restrict the IP addresses on the trusted or optional network that can use a service.
You can add a custom service using one or more of these:
•TCP ports
