6.10.1 Configuring LAN to WAN Access

The access point LAN can be configured to communicate with the WAN side of the access point. Use
the

Subnet Access

screen to control access from the LAN1 (or LAN2) interfaces to the WAN

interface. This access level will function as an ACL in a router to allow/deny certain IP addresses or
subnets to access certain interfaces (or subnets belonging to those interfaces) by creating access
policies. It also functions as a filter to allow/deny access for certain protocols such as HTTP, Telnet,
FTP etc.

To configure access point subnet access:

1.

Select

Network Configuration

->

Firewall

->

Subnet Access

from the access point

menu tree.

2.

Refer to the

Overview

field to view rectangles representing subnet associations. The three

possible colors indicate the current access level, as defined, for each subnet association.
