DESCRIPTION

Enable Firewall

Select this to activate the firewall. The ZyXEL Device controls access and protects

against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks when the firewall is activated.

Bypass Triangle

Route

Select this if you want to let some traffic from the WAN go directly to a computer in

the LAN without passing through the ZyXEL Device. See the appendices for more

information about triangle route topology.

Max NAT/Firewall

Session Per User

Select the maximum number of NAT rules and firewall rules the ZyXEL Device

enforces at one time. The ZyXEL Device automatically allocates memory for the

maximum number of rules, regardless of whether or not there is a rule to enforce.

This is the same number you enter in Network > NAT > General.
