Running Firewall in FYI Simulation mode

In FYI (For Your Information) Simulation mode, Firewall logs activity and its responses to it, but does not reject any activity or trigger other actions. You can use FYI mode to collect records of activity on your system that you can then use to train the Rule Wizards in creating Firewall rules that are optimized for your system.

To start FYI mode, select 11. Set Global *FYI (Simulation) from the Activation and Server Settings menu (STRFW > 1) as shown in Creating and Modifying Firewall Rules.

The Firewall *FYI* Simulation Mode window appears:
