Index Inheritance in Tables
When you clear a row in a table using the
Clear row
button, the selected
row is emptied. The result depends on the types of default rows defined in
the parent domains and in MIB as default rows.
If a row exists that has the same index values as the cleared row,
it will be re-inherited.
If a row that has the same index values as the cleared row does
not exist, the emptied row will remain empty after the
Clear row
operation.
Certain F-Secure products override the default table implementation, and
as such they do not implement the normal table inheritance as stated
above.
For example, the following tables use their own mechanism without basic
table inheritance:
F-Secure Internet Shield Rules table
F-Secure Internet Shield Services table
F-Secure Internet Shield Security Levels table
Please refer to the corresponding product manuals for more information
about table behavior in these cases.
The row can be inherited from a parent domain, or from a MIB (a
definition of the settings and containing the default values for all
settings) as a default row. The MIB can be considered a "domain
above the root domain" in relation to leaf value or row inheritance.
MIB defaults are inherited to subdomains unless overridden at a
domain level. To override an inherited row, define a row with the
same index column values. MIB defaults are obtained based on the
product version installed on hosts. For a domain, the values from
the newest product version are used.
Inherited and locally derived rows can be distinguished by color:
inherited rows are gray and locally derived rows are black.
