NETGEAR FVS318N manual Configure LAN DMZ Rules, 153

ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

Configure LAN DMZ Rules

•Create LAN DMZ Outbound Service Rules

•Create LAN DMZ Inbound Service Rules

The LAN DMZ Rules screen allows you to create rules that define the movement of traffic between the LAN and the DMZ. The default outbound and inbound policies are to block all traffic between the local LAN and DMZ network. You can then apply firewall rules to allow specific types of traffic either going out from the LAN to the DMZ (outbound) or coming in from the DMZ to the LAN (inbound).

There is no drop-down list that lets you set the default outbound policy as there is on the LAN WAN Rules screen. You can change the default outbound policy by allowing all outbound traffic and then blocking specific services from passing through the wireless VPN firewall. You do so by adding outbound service rules (see Create LAN DMZ Outbound Service Rules on page 155).

To access the LAN DMZ Rules screen for IPv4 or to change existing IPv4 rules:

Select Security > Firewall > LAN DMZ Rules. In the upper right of the screen, the IPv4 radio button is selected by default. The LAN DMZ Rules screen displays the IPv4 settings. (The following figure contains examples.)

Figure 75.

To change an existing outbound or inbound service rule, in the Action column to the right of the rule, click one of the following table buttons:

•Up. Moves the rule up one position in the table rank.

•Down. Moves the rule down one position in the table rank.
