Creating Custom IP Filter Rules
You can create a new filter rule based on criteria you enter.
Note You must have selected the
Custom firewall level from the
Firewall – Simple Setup screen.
The following instructions reference
the step numbers on the Firewall –
Custom IP Filter Configuration
screen.
Step 1: Fill in the following
information:
1. In the Rule No. text box, enter an
unused rule number. If you enter
a number that is already in the
rules database, an error message
will display.
2. In the Access drop-down list box,
select the access value, Permit or
Deny.
3. In the Direction drop-down list
box, select whether the rule
applies to Inbound or Outbound
packet traffic.
4. To prevent the firewall from
creating a stateful inspection
session for packets matched on
this rule, select the Keep
stateless check box.
Step 2: Define the source and
destination:
1. In the Network Interface list
under the Source heading, select
the Network Interface.
2. Designate whether the source is
any IP address or a specific
address; if the latter, enter the IP address and netmask.
3. Repeat the previous steps to specify the Destination criteria.
