Action for

Matched Packets

Use the drop-down list box to select what the firewall is to do with packets that

match this rule.
Select Drop to silently discard the packets without sending a TCP reset packet or

an ICMP destination-unreachable message to the sender.
Select Reject to deny the packets and send a TCP reset packet (for a TCP packet)

or an ICMP destination-unreachable message (for a UDP packet) to the sender.
Select Permit to allow the passage of the packets.

Note: You also need to configure NAT port forwarding (or full

featured NAT address mapping rules) if you want to allow
computers on the WAN to access devices on the LAN.

Note: You may also need to configure the remote management

settings if you want to allow a WAN computer to manage the
ZyXEL Device or restrict management from the LAN.
