Lantronix SLC 8000 manual Viewing IP Filters, Mapping Rulesets, To view a list of IP filters

6: Basic Parameters

IP Filter

IP filters (also called a rule set) act as a firewall to allow or deny individual or a range of IP addresses, ports, and protocols. When a network connection is configured to use an IP filter, all network traffic through that connection is compared, in order, to the rules of that filter. Network traffic may be allowed to pass, it may be dropped (without notice), or it may be rejected (sends back an error packet) depending upon the rules of that filter rule set.

The administrator uses the Network > IP Filter page to view, add, edit, delete, and map IP filters,

Warning: IP filters configuration is a feature for advanced users. Adding and enabling IP filter sets incorrectly can disable your SLC unit.
