Access Control

Access Control settings are used to block various services and protocols for specific client IP addresses. The configuration process is similar setting up port forwarding, except access control will deny specific functions to client IP addresses. There are pre-configured rules for specific functions that may be blocked or you can block specific UDP or TCP ports. Access control operates for specific IP addresses across all WAN connections. If you are using more than one WAN connection, a single set of access rules is maintained for each controlled IP address that operates on all WAN connections.

	In order to use Port Access Control, Firewall support must be enabled. See
	Enable/Disable NAT and Firewall in the Advanced Security menu.

Remember, if the client IP address you want does not appear listed in the LAN IP pull-down menu, click on the New IP button to go to the LAN Clients menu.

To block all traffic from the WAN port to a specific IP address, select the LAN IP address to block and click to check the Traffic Type __ Any selection box, then click the Apply button. This will block all traffic from the WAN port to the specified client.

Remember to save the configuration changes.
