Outbound Policy
The Outbound Policy allows you to filter outbound (from the user side LAN to the WAN)
packets based on a set of rules. This enables you to deny access to different sources
and thus increase security.
Src IP: This specifies the Source IP for the Outbound Policy. This is the internal (LAN
side, behind the firewall) IP address or addresses and Subnet Mask(s) that will be
affected by the policy. In this field there are two IP Address entry fields and a
dropdown menu has four options:
Any IP: Selecting this will cause all IPs to be affected by the policy. When this is
selected, you will be unable to enter any information into the IP Address entry
fields.
Single IP: Selecting this will cause only one IP Address to be affected by the policy.
This IP Address will need to be specified by the user in the first IP Address entry
field.
IP Range: Selecting this will enable you to select a range of IP Addresses to which the
policy will apply. The first IP Address in the range must be entered into the first IP
Address entry field and the last IP Address in the range must be entered into the
second IP Address entry field.
Mask Range: Selecting this will enable you to select a network to which the policy will
apply. The Network IP Address must be entered into the first entry field and the
Subnet Mask of Network IP address must be entered into the second entry field.
Dest IP: This specifies the Destination IP for the Outbound Policy. This is the external
(WAN side, outside of the firewall) IP address or addresses and network that will
be affected by the policy. See Src IP above for configuration detail.
