Step 8: Configure Subnet Access

The Access Overview Table

In the overview table, each of the rectangles represents a subnet association. The three possible colors indicate the current access level, as defined, for each subnet association.

Color

Access Type

Description

Green

Full Access

No protocol exceptions (rules) are specified. All

 

 

traffic may pass between these two areas.

Yellow

Limited Access

One or more protocol rules are specified. Specific

 

 

protocols are either enabled or disabled between

 

 

these two areas. Click the table cell of interest and

 

 

look at the exceptions area in the lower half of the

 

 

screen to determine the protocols that are either

 

 

allowed or denied.

Red

No Access

All protocols are denied, without exception. No traffic

 

 

will pass between these two areas.

 

 

 

The Access Exception Area

In the lower half of the screen, the access is controlled by specify rules that control the protocols that are allowed or denied between the two subnets or the subnet and the WAN. All rules are added to the exception table. The Allow or Deny menu item applies to all entries in the table. There are two ways to add entries (access rules) to the table. The first is by checking the checkboxes for specific protocols (on the left). The second is by adding rules for specific port numbers by clicking the Add button and filling in the necessary information. A combination of the two methods can be used to add multiple entries to the table.

You can allow or deny communication through specific protocols using the following process.
