Default Properties
 


Notice below that all default services are disabled.  By default, FW-1 leaves a variety of vulnerable services open to the world.  Be sure to turn them off.  If you need any of these services, turn them on later in the firewall rulebase.  This gives you greater control AND logging of those services (default properties do not log). Keep in mind, if you are manageing more then one rulebase, any changes you make to default properties apply to all rulebases. This is another advantage to clearing default properties, you get more granular control by using the rulebases.
