4.3Setting Up Firewall Databases

The X5v includes options to set up databases of user information, so you can create different combinations of user groups. Drawing from these groups, or databases, you can then create and apply certain inbound and outbound policies and restrict Internet traffic. For example, if you don’t want your children accessing the Internet during the day, you can set up a time group that blocks access from 8am to 5pm. For instructions on how to create inbound and outbound policies, refer to the section above.

•Service Group

•Time Group.

IP Group

The IP Group page lets you specify IP addresses and subnet masks and assign a group name to them. That way, you can create a set of inbound and outbound firewall policies pertaining to multiple individuals simultaneously. For example, if you have a small office and you don’t want certain computers (or users) to have Internet access, you can set up an IP group that includes those computers and then set up an outbound policy that blocks Internet access for that IP group.
