The Access Overview Table

In the overview table, each of the rectangles represents a subnet association. The three
possible colors indicate the current access level, as defined, for each subnet association.

Description

Green

No protocol exceptions (rules) are specified. All
traffic may pass between these two areas.

Yellow

Limited Access

One or more protocol rules are specified. Specific
protocols are either enabled or disabled between
these two areas. Click the table cell of interest and
look at the exceptions area in the lower half of the
screen to determine the protocols that are either
allowed or denied.

Red

No Access

All protocols are denied, without exception. No traffic
will pass between these two areas.

The Access Exception Area

In the lower half of the screen, the access is controlled by specify rules that control the
protocols that are allowed or denied between the two subnets or the subnet and the WAN.
All rules are added to the exception table. The Allow or Deny menu item applies to all
entries in the table. There are two ways to add entries (access rules) to the table. The first is
by checking the checkboxes for specific protocols (on the left). The second is by adding
rules for specific port numbers by clicking the Add button and filling in the necessary
information. A combination of the two methods can be used to add multiple entries to the
table.

You can allow or deny communication through specific protocols using the following
process.
