Naming a new filter set

All new filter sets have a default name. The first filter set you add will be called Filter Set 1, the next filter will be Filter Set 2, and so on.

To give a new filter set a different name, select Filter Set Name and enter a new name for the filter set.

To save the filter set, select ADD FILTER SET. The saved filter set is empty (contains no filters), but you can return to it later to add filters (see “Modifying filter sets” on page 15-18). Or you can add filters to your new set before saving it (see “Adding filters to a filter set” on page 15-15).

Select CANCEL to leave the Add Filter Set screen without saving the new filter set and return to the Filter Sets screen.

Input and output filters—source and destination

There are two kinds of filters you can add to a filter set: input and output. Input filters check packets received from the Internet, destined for your network. Output filters check packets transmitted from your network to the Internet. You might use output filters, for example to selectively control which users on your network have access to the Internet or to a remote corporate network.
