Enabling or Disabling a Network ACL Rule

After a rule is added, it is in the Enabled status. You can disable it if you need.

If all custom rules are disabled, they will become invalid but default rules are still applied. As a result, all traffic to and from the associated subnets are denied. Disabling all custom rules may interrupt network traffic. Be careful with this operation as it may interrupt services.
If a custom rule is enabled, it is applied. Enabling custom rules may affect how and where traffic is directed. Be careful with this operation as it may interrupt services.
