CONFIGURING FIREWALL RULES

Firewall rules is an advanced feature used to deny or allow traffic from passing through the router. It works in the same way as IP Filters with additional settings. You can create more detailed access rules for the router. When virtual services are created and enabled, they also display in firewall rules. Firewall Rules contain all network firewall rules pertaining to IP (Internet Protocol).

The priorities of the Firewall Rules are listed in the firewall rules List at the bottom of the screen, with the highest priority rules at the top and the lowest at the bottom.

Note - The router MAC address filtering rules have precedence over the Firewall

Rules.

To configure Firewall Rules:

1Access the Configuration menu by following the instructions in To access the Web-based configuration utility: on page 13.
