Type configure then ? to explore. Every set mutates CANDIDATE — nothing takes effect until you commit. ↑ / ↓ for history · Tab for completion.

Try this first — a basic zone + interface + policy

  1. configure
  2. set network interface ethernet ethernet1/1 layer3 ip 192.168.1.1/24
  3. set network interface ethernet ethernet1/2 layer3 ip 10.0.0.1/24
  4. set zone trust network layer3 ethernet1/1
  5. set zone untrust network layer3 ethernet1/2
  6. set rulebase security rules allow-web from trust to untrust source any destination any application web-browsing action allow
  7. show config diff
  8. commit
  9. exit, then show config running

Try this — edit context navigation

  1. configure
  2. edit rulebase security rules allow-dns
  3. set from trust
  4. set to untrust
  5. set application dns
  6. set action allow
  7. show — see the subtree at your edit position
  8. top, then show — full candidate
  9. commit
