in Use

This read-only bar shows how much of the ZyXEL Device's memory for recording

firewall rules it is currently using. When you are using 80% or less of the storage

space, the bar is green. When the amount of space used is over 80%, the bar is red.

Packet Direction Use the drop-down list box to select a direction of travel of packets for which you

want to configure firewall rules.

Create a new

rule after rule

number

Select an index number and click Add to add a new firewall rule after the selected

index number. For example, if you select “6”, your new rule becomes number 7 and

the previous rule 7 (if there is one) becomes rule 8.

The following read-only fields summarize the rules you have created that apply to

traffic traveling in the selected packet direction. The firewall rules that you configure

(summarized below) take priority over the general firewall action settings in the

General screen.
