| and protects against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks when the firewall is activated. |
Allow | Select this check box to have the Prestige firewall permit the use of triangle route |
Asymmetrical | topology on the network. See the appendix for more on triangle route topology. |

Packet Direction | This is the direction of travel of packets (LAN to LAN/Router, LAN to WAN, LAN |
| to DMZ, WAN to WAN/Router, WAN to LAN, WAN to DMZ, DMZ to DMZ/ |
| Router, DMZ to LAN or DMZ to WAN). |
| Firewall rules are grouped based on the direction of travel of packets to which they |
| apply. For example, LAN to LAN/Router means packets traveling from a |
| computer/subnet on the LAN to either another computer/subnet on the LAN |
| interface of the Prestige or the Prestige itself. |
Default Action | Use the radio buttons to select whether to Block (silently discard) or Forward |
| (allow the passage of) packets that are traveling in the selected direction. |
Log | Select the check box to create a log (when the above action is taken) for packets |
| that are traveling in the selected direction and do not match any of the rules below. |
