Item

Description

 

 

 

 

Services

Select the desired Service or application to be covered by this rule. If the desired

 

 

service or application does not appear in the list, you must define it using the

 

 

Services menu (see “Adding Customized Services” on page 4-18).

 

 

 

 

Action

Select the desired action for packets covered by this rule:

 

 

• BLOCK always

 

 

• BLOCK by schedule, otherwise Allow

 

 

• ALLOW always

 

 

• ALLOW by schedule, otherwise Block

 

 

Note: Any inbound traffic which is not allowed by rules you create will be blocked by

 

the Default rule.

 

Select Schedule

Select the desired time schedule (i.e., Schedule1, Schedule2, or Schedule3) that will

 

be used by this rule.

 

 

• This drop down menu gets activated only when “BLOCK by schedule, otherwise

 

 

Allow” or “ALLOW by schedule, otherwise Block” is selected as Action.

 

 

• Use schedule page to configure the time schedules.

 

LAN Server

This LAN address determines which computer on your network is hosting this service

 

rule. (You can also translate this address to a port number.).

 

Translate to Port

Check the “Translate to Port Number” and enter a port number if you want to assign

Number

the LAN Server to a specific port.

 

WAN Users

These settings determine which Internet locations are covered by the rule, based on

 

their IP address. Select the desired option:

 

 

• Any – All Internet IP address are covered by this rule.

 

 

• Single address – Enter the required address in the start fields.

 

 

• Address range – If this option is selected, you must enter the start and finish fields.

WAN Destination IP

These settings determine the destination IP address applicable to incoming traffic.

Address

This is the public IP address that will map to the internal server; it can either be the

 

address of the WAN1 or WAN2 ports or another public IP address.

 

QoS Priority

This setting determines the priority of a service, which in turn, determines the quality

 

of that service for the traffic passing through the firewall. By default, the priority

 

 

shown is that of the selected service. The user can change it accordingly. If the user

 

does not make a selection (i.e, leaves it as None), then the native priority of the

 

 

service will be applied to the policy. See “Specifying Quality of Service (QoS)

 

 

Priorities” on page 4-20.

 

 

 

Log

This determines whether packets covered by this rule are logged. Select the desired

 

action:

 

 

• Always – always log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not. This

 

is useful when debugging your rules.

 

 

• Never – never log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not.
