This chapter shows you how to get started with the Prestige firewall.

10.1 Remote Management and the Firewall

When SMT menu 24.11 is configured to allow management (see the Remote Management chapter) and the firewall is enabled:

The firewall blocks remote management from the WAN unless you configure a firewall rule to allow it.

The firewall allows remote management from the LAN.

10.2 Access Methods

The web configurator is, by far, the most comprehensive firewall configuration tool your Prestige has to offer. For this reason, it is recommended that you configure your firewall using the web configurator, see the following chapters for instructions. SMT screens allow you to activate the firewall and view firewall logs.

10.3 Using Prestige SMT Menus
