Compliant code
The firewall is safely configured over a secure port
gateway: "My gateway name"
firewall_service:
enabled: true
policy: 'drop'
log_default_action: true
firewall_rules:
- :id: '1'
:enabled: true
:description: 'disallow_connections'
:policy: 'disallow'
:destination_port_range: '5353'
:destination_ip: '00.01.02.03'
:source_port_range: '5353'
:source_ip: 'Any'
Non compliant code
The firewall configuration allows insecure port connections through its configuration files
gateway: "My gateway name"

:enabled: true
:description: 'allow_connections'
