Validating Active Sessions against the Current Zones Firewall Rules
By default, a vShield Zones instance matches firewall rules against each new session. After a session has been
established, any firewall rule changes do not affect active sessions.
The CLI command
validate sessions
enables you to validate active sessions against the current Zones
Firewall rule set to purge any sessions that are in violation of the current rule set. After a firewall rule set
update, you should validate active sessions to purge any existing sessions that are in violation of the updated
policy.
After the Zones Firewall update is complete, issue the
validate sessions
command from the CLI of a
vShield Zones instance to purge sessions that are in violation of current policy.
To validate active sessions against the current firewall rules
1
Update and commit the Zones Firewall rule set at the appropriate container level.

validate sessions
command.
