Basic Firewall’s filters play the following roles.
Input filters 1 and 2: These block
Input filter 3: This filter explicitly forwards all
Input filters 4 and 5: These filters forward all TCP and UDP traffic, respectively, when the destination port is greater than 1023. This type of traffic generally does not allow a remote host to connect to the LAN using one of the potentially intrusive Internet services, such as Telnet, FTP, and WWW.
Output filter 1: This filter forwards all outgoing traffic to make sure that no outgoing connections from the LAN are blocked.
