Examine the sample Rule Base. What will be the result of a verification of the policy from SmartConsole?

The policy does contain at least one verification error due to rule shadowing, so a clean verification result is incorrect.

An empty Source-List or Service-List would produce a different category of verification error unrelated to rule ordering or shadowing.

Rule 4 (Web Inbound) is positioned before Rule 6 (Webmaster access) and is broad enough to match all traffic that Rule 6 would also match. Because Check Point evaluates rules top-down and stops at the first match, Rule 6 is permanently shadowed and unreachable. SmartConsole's policy verification flags this as a verification error to alert the administrator.

The implicit cleanup rule is a system-level construct, and Rule 7 being a cleanup rule does not constitute a shadowing error - this is expected and allowed configuration.
