Firewall
Dlink DRO-210i User Guide 37
Note: If more than one interface is of same security type, then Policy database for
them is same i.e if WAN1 and WAN2 are configured as UnTrusted then both of
them will share a common Inbound Policies database.
Caution: If LAN is configured as UnTrusted, then Remote Access needs to be
configured for getting the web-configuration. So before configuring LAN as
UnTrusted, first enter the IP of the LAN PC (which is configuring the DRO-210i)
in the Remote access configuration webpage.
A policy is a rule that can be active on the router for certain period of time according to
its configuration. These rules allow/deny traffic, ensuring that the network is less
vulnerable to external attacks. The rules that are added for a policy, take effect only when
corresponding policy is active i.e. the administrator can activate different poli cies at
different times by specifying the time.
Select Firewall →
