Setting

Description

Inbound Rules

 

 

 

LAN Users

These settings apply to a LAN WAN inbound rule when the WAN

LAN WAN rules

 

mode is classical routing, and determine which computers on

LAN DMZ rules

 

your network are affected by this rule. The options are:

 

 

Any. All computers and devices on your LAN.

 

 

Single address. Enter the required address in the Start field to

 

 

apply the rule to a single device on your LAN.

 

 

Address range. Enter the required addresses in the Start and

 

 

Finish fields to apply the rule to a range of devices.

 

 

Group. Select the LAN group to which the rule applies. Use

 

 

the LAN Groups screen to assign computers to groups (see

 

 

Manage the Network Database on page 68). Groups are

 

 

applicable only to IPv4 rules.

 

 

Note: For IPv4 LAN WAN inbound rules, this field does not

 

 

apply when the WAN mode is NAT because your network

 

 

presents only one IP address to the Internet.

 

 

 

 

WAN Users

The settings that determine which Internet locations are covered

LAN WAN rules

 

by the rule, based on their IP address. The options are:

DMZ WAN rules

 

Any. All Internet IP addresses are covered by this rule.

 

 

Single address. Enter the required address in the Start field.

 

 

Address range. Enter the required addresses in the Start and

 

 

Finish fields.

 

 

 

 

DMZ Users

The settings that determine which DMZ computers on the DMZ

DMZ WAN rules

 

network are affected by this rule. The options are:

LAN DMZ rules

 

Any. All computers and devices on your DMZ network.

 

 

Single address. Enter the required address in the Start field to

 

 

apply the rule to a single computer on the DMZ network.

 

 

Address range. Enter the required addresses in the Start and

 

 

Finish fields to apply the rule to a range of DMZ computers.

 

 

Note: For IPv4 DMZ WAN inbound rules, this field does not

 

 

apply when the WAN mode is NAT because your network

 

 

presents only one IP address to the Internet.

 

 

 

 

Log

The setting that determines whether packets covered by this rule

All rules

 

are logged. The options are:

 

 

Always. Always log traffic that matches this rule. This is useful

 

 

when you are debugging your rules.

 

 

Never. Never log traffic that matches this rule.

 

 

 

 

Bandwidth Profile

Bandwidth limiting determines how the data is sent to and from

IPv4 LAN WAN rules

 

your host. The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a

 

 

solution for limiting the outgoing and incoming traffic, thus

 

 

preventing the LAN users from consuming all the bandwidth of

 

 

the Internet link. For more information, see Create Bandwidth

 

 

Profiles on page 175. For inbound traffic, you can configure

 

 

bandwidth limiting only on the LAN interface for a LAN WAN rule.

 

 

Note: Bandwidth limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.
