There is a special syntax in LCOS for the description of the Firewall rules. This
syntax allows to describe also complex relations for checking and treatment
of data packets within the Firewall just with a few characters.
Rules are defined in the rule table. Pre-defined objects can be saved in two
additional tables in order to prevent entering frequently used objects each
time again in LCOS syntax:
The action table contains Firewall actions
The object table contains stations and services
Objects from these tables can be used for rule definition, but this is
not a must. They simply facilitate the use of frequently used objects.

of the rule for VPN connections. General information concerning these param-

table for protocols, services, stations (→page146), and of entries of the
