There are three level of firewall, which you can setup in this product.

Level one, basic, only enables the NAT firewall and the remote management security. The NAT
firewall will take effect if NAT function is enabled. The remote management security is default to
block any WAN side connection to the device. Non-empty legal IP pool in ADMIN will block all
remote management connection except those IPs specified in the pool.

Level two, automatic, enables basic firewall security, all DoS protection, and the SPI filter
function.

Level three, advanced, is an advanced level of firewall where user can determine the security
level for special purpose, environment, and applications by configuring the DoS protection and
defining an extra packet filter with higher priority than the default SPI filter. Note that, an improper
filter policy may degrade the capability of the firewall and/or even block the normal network traffic.

The firewall security level can configure via level command.
