“When you add a new firewall object a wizard will appear. Before
you can move beyond the first screen you have to do the
following:

* Name your firewall.
* Select the firewall software the machine is running.
* Select the OS the firewall is running on.

“In the first screen of this wizard is a very important option
(if you want to make life easy for yourself). You can base your
firewall on pre-configured templates. For new users this is always
a good place to start. And even though you choose a pre-configured
template, you can still customize this firewall.”
