An administrator is creating the first distributed firewall rules for a company's salts department.

The first object that must be created in the distributed firewall is a firewall policy. A firewall policy is a set of rules that define what traffic is allowed or blocked on a given network. When creating a policy, the administrator must specify the source and destination address and port, as well as the type of traffic that is allowed or blocked. The policy will then be applied to the distributed firewall, allowing it to enforce the rules specified in the policy.
