Basic Firewall’s filters play the following roles.

Input filters 1 and 2: These block WAN-originated OpenWindows and X-Windows sessions. Service origination requests for these protocols use ports 2000 and 6000, respectively. Since these are greater than 1023, OpenWindows and X-Windows traffic would otherwise be allowed by input filter 4. Input filters 1 and 2 must precede input filter 4; otherwise they would have no effect as filter 4 would have already passed OpenWindows and X-Windows traffic.

Input filter 3: This filter explicitly passes all WAN-originated ICMP traffic to permit devices on the WAN to ping devices on the LAN. Ping is an Internet service that is useful for diagnostic purposes.

Input filters 4 and 5: These filters pass 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 passes all outgoing traffic to make sure that no outgoing connections from the LAN are blocked.
