Src Port: This specifies the Source Port for the Outbound Policy. This is the internal
(LAN side, behind firewall) port(s) that will be affected by the policy. In this field,
there are two port entry fields and a dropdown menu. The dropdown menu has
four options:
Any Port: Selecting this will cause all Ports to be affected by the policy. When this is
selected, you will be unable to enter any information into the Port entry fields.
Single Port: Selecting this will cause only one Port to be affected by the policy. This
port will need to be specified by the user in the first Port entry field.
Port Range: Selecting this will enable you to select a range of Ports to which the
policy will apply. The first Port in the range must be entered in the first Port entry
field and the last Port in the range must be entered in the second Port entry field.
Safe Ports: Any port greater than 1024 (1025-65535) is considered a safe port.
Dest Port: This specifies the Destination Port for the Outbound Policy. This is the
external (WAN side, outside of the firewall) Port that will be affected by the policy.
See Src Port above for configuration detail.
Transport Protocol: This specifies the Transport/ Transfer protocol for the policy. The
following protocol options are available: All, TCP, UDP, ICMP, AH, ESP and GRE.
Filtering Action: This specifies what action the policy takes:
Allow: Selecting this will cause the policy to allow packet transfer from the Src IP
through the Src Port to travel through the Dest Port to the Dest IP. All of these are
specified above and must be configured by the user.
Deny: Selecting this will cause the policy to deny packet transfer from the Src IP
through the Src Port to travel through the Dest Port to the Dest IP. All of these are
specified above and must be configured by the user.
Time Window Filtering: This field allows you to select a certain time frame from the
Time Group in which this policy will be active.
DB: Short for Database, this field allows you to select a user-defined IP Group for the
Src IP and Dest IP fields and user-defined Service Group for the Dest Port.
User-defined IP and Service Groups are created in IP Group and Service Group
pages.
