After the wizard applies the configuration, you can click the Edit Firewall Policy tab in SDM to review the changes, as shown in Figure H.

One caveat: The Firewall Policy Wizard doesn't apply ACLs. Instead, it uses a new type of firewall configuration called Zone Policy Firewalls (ZPF). For more information about ZPFs, see Cisco's Configuring Zone Policy Firewalls documentation.
