Firewall Security
Level Services Table
The following information is related to the Firewall options (High, Medium, and
Low) in the “Advanced Services” chapter of this manual (page 35). The types of ser-
vices and their respective ports are listed in the two right-hand columns: the “In”
column details whether a particular service can be accessed by a user outside of the
network; and the “Out” column details whether a computer on the Gateway’s net-
work can access a particular incoming service.
For example, in the “High Security Level” section below, the http service uses port
80. Since no is listed in the In column, a user outside the Gateway’s network can-
not access a computer on the network via the http service; in this case, no comput-
ers on the network can be used as a Web server (i.e., to host a Web site accessible to
outside users). However, since yes is listed in the Out column, all computers on the
Gateway’s network can access the Internet via the http port.
If Basic Security is selected in the “Firewall” screen, firewall filtering is based on the
basic NAT firewall.
☞Note: This stateful packet inspection firewall is based on the
Globespan-Virata implementation and specification for release 8.2.
