Access Rules
Network Access Rules evaluate network traffic's Source IP address, Destination IP address, and IP protocol type to decide if the IP traffic will be allowed to pass through the firewall.
The ability to define Network Access Rules is a very powerful tool. Using custom rules, it is possible to disable all firewall protection or block all access to the Internet. Use extreme caution when creating or deleting Network Access Rules.
SMCBR24Q has the following Default Rules.
*All traffic from the LAN to the WAN is allowed.
*All traffic from the WAN to the LAN is denied.
Custom rules can be created to override the above SMCBR24Q default rules, but there are four additional default rules that will always be active, and custom rule can not override these four rules.
*HTTP service from LAN side to SMCBR24Q is always allowed.
*DHCP service from LAN side is always allowed.
*DNS service from LAN side is always allowed.
*Ping service from LAN side to SMCBR24Q is always allowed.
