App Control issue with R80 MGMT, 1400 Appliance

[PhoneBoy · Accepted solution]

This is a fairly standard issue that will occur when you are managing pre-R80 gateways with R80.

To work around this, you have to construct your policy in the manner that pre-R80 versions support.

Your policy package has to have two layers:

• Firewall only (first one)
• App Control / URL Filtering (second one)

Here's a screenshot that shows what the first layer should be like:

The second layer will have both Firewall and Applications & URL Filtering checked.

Your App Control rules will go in the second layer and will only be reached if the Firewall layer matches the connection with an Accept.
