Access Control Access Control Overview Introduction to Rules Filtering Rules by Device

Last updated: Jul 29, 2025

Filtering Rules by Device

Some policy editors allow you to filter your rule view by affected devices.

The system uses a rule's interface constraints to determine if the rule affects a device. If you constrain a rule by interface (security zone or interface group condition), the device where that interface is located is affected by that rule. Rules with no interface constraint apply to any interface, and therefore every device.

QoS rules are always constrained by interface.


 

The following procedure does not apply to the access control policy. To see the rules that apply to a specific device or set of devices in the access control policy, click the filter icon and select the devices.

Procedure

1

In the policy editor, click Rules, then click Filter by Device.

A list of targeted devices and device groups appears.
2

Check one or more check boxes to display only the rules that apply to those devices or groups. Or, check All to reset and display all of the rules.


 

Hover your pointer over a rule criterion to see its value. If the criterion represents an object with device-specific overrides, the system displays the override value when you filter the rules list by only that device. If the criterion represents an object with domain-specific overrides, the system displays the override value when you filter the rules list by devices in that domain.
