Monitoring Network Health

Filter Rules

If the firewall security level is set to Custom, this features allows you to specify a unique set of firewall rules for handling inbound and outbound traffic customized to the user’s specific requirements. In this mode of operation the firewall provides an extensive amount of configurability. As such, only advanced users should employ this feature.

Rules can be filter-based on any of the following:

Source and destination router interfaces

IP protocols

Direction of traffic flow

Source and destination network/host IP address

Protocol-specific attributes such as ICMP message types

Source and destination port ranges (for protocols that support them), and support for port comparison operators such as less than, greater than, and equal to.

Rules can specifically allow or deny packets to flow through the router. Default actions taken when no specific rule applies can also be configured.

To define inbound and outbound IP filter rules:

1.Select Setup>Firewall>Filter Rules from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the “Firewall IP Filter Configuration Wizard” window.

2.Do one of the following:

To add new IP filter rules as you define them, click Add New IP Filter Rule. This displays the “Basic Rule Definition” window.

To clone IP filter rules already defined, click Clone IP Filter Level. This displays the “Clone Rule Definition” window. Once cloned, you can modify the existing rules.
