(Icons)

Click the Add icon in the heading row to add a new first entry.
The Active icon displays whether the entry is enabled or not. Click it to activate 

or deactivate the entry. Make sure you click Apply to save and apply the 

change. 
Click the Edit icon to go to the screen where you can edit the entry.
Click the Add icon in an entry to add an entry below the current entry.
Click the Remove icon to delete an existing entry from the ZyWALL. A window 

displays asking you to confirm that you want to delete the entry. Note that 

subsequent entries move up by one when you take this action.
In a numbered list, click the Move to N icon to display a field to type an index 

number for where you want to put that entry and press [ENTER] to move the 

entry to the number that you typed. For example, if you type 6, the entry you 

are moving becomes number 6 and the previous entry 6 (if there is one) gets 

pushed up (or down) one.
The ordering of your entries is important as they are applied in order of their 

numbering.
