rules, see Configure LAN WAN Rules on page 138 and Configure DMZ WAN Rules on page 145.

When you define inbound firewall rules, you can further refine their application according to the following criteria:

•Services. You can specify the services or applications to be covered by an inbound rule. If the desired service or application does not display in the list, you need to define it using the Services screen (see Inbound Rules (Port Forwarding) on page 133 and Add Customized Services on page 172).

•WAN destination IP address. You can specify the destination IP address for incoming traffic. Traffic is directed to the specified address only when the destination IP address of the incoming packet matches the IP address of the selected WAN interface.

•LAN users (or DMZ users). Only when the IPv4 routing mode is Classical Routing, you can specify which computers on your network are affected by an inbound rule. When Classical Routing is enabled, there are several options:

-Any. The rule applies to all computers and devices on your LAN.

-Single address. The rule applies to the address of a particular computer.

-Address range. The rule applies to a range of addresses.

-Groups. The rule is applied to a group of computers. (You can configure groups for LAN WAN outbound rules but not for DMZ WAN outbound rules.) The Known PCs and Devices table is an automatically maintained list of all known computers and network devices and is generally referred to as the network database, which is described in Manage the Network Database on page 68. Computers and network devices are entered into the network database by various methods, which are described in Manage IPv4 Groups and Hosts (IPv4 LAN Groups) on page 67.

•WAN users. You can specify which Internet locations are covered by an inbound rule, based on their IP address:

-Any. The rule applies to all Internet IP address.

-Single address. The rule applies to a single Internet IP address.

-Address range. The rule applies to a range of Internet IP addresses.

•Schedule. You can configure three different schedules to specify when a rule is applied. Once a schedule is configured, it affects all rules that use this schedule. You specify the days of the week and time of day for each schedule. For more information, see Set a Schedule to Block or Allow Specific Traffic on page 182.

•Bandwidth profile. You can define bandwidth profiles and then apply them to inbound LAN WAN rules to limit traffic. (You cannot apply bandwidth profiles to DMZ WAN rules.) For information about how to define bandwidth profiles, see Create Bandwidth Profiles on page 175.
