Setting LAN DMZ Rules

The LAN DMZ Rules screen allows you to create rules that define the movement of traffic between the LAN and the DMZ. The Default Outbound and Inbound Policies is to allow all traffic between the local LAN and DMZ network. Firewall rules can then be applied to block specific types of traffic from either going out from the LAN to the DMZ (Outbound) or coming in from the DMZ to the LAN (Inbound).

To access the LAN DMZ Rules screen:

1.Select Security on the main menu, then select Firewall Rules and click the LAN DMZ Rules tab. The LAN DMZ Rules screen will display showing the both the Outbound Services and Inbound Services tables.
