Firewall Pages
Use the Firewall Pages to configure the firewall filters and firewall alert notifications. The
firewall protects the SVG1501 LAN from undesired attacks and other intrusions from the
Internet. The firewall:
•
Maintains state data for every TCP/IP session on the OSI network and transport
layers.
•
Monitors all incoming and outgoing packets, applies the firewall policy to each one,
and screens for improper packets and intrusion attempts.
•
Provides comprehensive logging for all:
User authentications
Rejected internal and external connection requests
Session creation and termination
Outside attacks (intrusion detection)
You can configure the firewall filters to set rules for port usage.
Firewall Web Content Filter Page
Configure the firewall by enabling or disabling various Web filters related to blocking or
exclusively allowing different types of data through the Configuration Manager from the
WAN to the LAN.
You can block Java Applets, Cookies, ActiveX controls, popup windows, and Proxies.
Firewall Protection turns on the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall features.
