ZyXEL Communications 650H-E Series 5.5 Enabling the Firewall

Prestige 650H-E

When activated, the firewall allows all traffic to the Internet that originates from the LAN, and blocks all traffic to the LAN that originates from the Internet. In other words the Prestige will:

Allow all sessions originating from the LAN to the WAN

Deny all sessions originating from the WAN to the LAN

LAN-to-WANrules are local network to Internet firewall rules. The default is to forward all traffic from your local network to the Internet.

The following figure illustrates a Prestige firewall application.
