7 SVG2500 FIREWALL PAGES

The SVG2500 Firewall Pages allow you to configure the SVG2500 firewall filters and firewall alert notifications.

You can click any Firewall submenu option to view or change the firewall configuration information for that option.

For information about how the firewall can affect gaming, see

Gaming Configuration Guidelines.

The predefined policies provide outbound Internet access for computers on the SVG2500 LAN. The SVG2500 firewall uses stateful-inspectionto allow inbound responses when there already is an outbound session running that corresponds to the data flow. For example, if you use a web browser, outbound HTTP connections are permitted on port 80. Inbound responses from the Internet are allowed because an outbound session is established.

When required, you can configure the SVG2500 firewall to allow inbound packets without first establishing an outbound session. You also need to configure a port forwarding entry on the Advanced Port Forwarding Page or a DMZ client on the Advanced DMZ Host Page.
