Configuring IP Filters and Blocking Protocols
This chapter describes two Configuration Manager features that enable you to control the
data passing through your network:
fThe IP filter feature enables you to create rules to
block attempts by certain computers on your LAN to
access certain types of data or Internet locations. You
can also block incoming access to computers on your
LAN. Although IP filter rules provide a very flexible
and powerful tool to enhance network security and
control user activity, they can also be complex and
generally require an advanced understanding of IP
protocols.
fThe blocked protocols feature enables you to simply
select from a predefined list the protocol that you
want to block. All data passed to the ADSL/Ethernet
router using a blocked protocol will be discarded,
without consideration of the source computer,
destination computer, or the device interface on
which it was received.
