2-8-1 Port Filtering

By using this function, you can restrict certain types of outbound (from LAN to

Internet) traffic by blocking specific ports. For example, if you don’t want your

LAN devices and computers to access FTP servers on Internet, you can add

port number ‘20’ and ‘21’ to the port filtering list.

For port numbers of common services, please refer to chapter 4-3

‘Well-Known Services’.
