CHAPTER 8 Firewall Configuration
IP/Port Filtering
IP/PORT FILTERING
IP/Port filtering restricts connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defends against a wide array of common hacker attacks. IP/Port filtering allows the unit to permit, deny or proxy traffic through its ports and IP addresses.
