LAN Users These settings apply to a LAN WAN inbound rule when the WAN
mode is classical routing, and determine which computers on
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.

LAN DMZ rules
WAN Users The settings that determine which Internet locations are covered
by the rule, based on their IP address. The options are:

DMZ WAN rules
DMZ Users The settings that determine which DMZ computers on the DMZ
network are affected by this rule. The options are:
• 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.

Bandwidth Profile Bandwidth limiting determines how the data is sent to and from
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.
