3.2.2 Configuration Scheme

To meet these requirements, we can configure Access Control rules on the router to filter

the specific types of packets from R&D department: only the HTTP and HTTPs packets

are allowed to be sent to the internet, and other types of packets are not allowed. The

configuration overview is as follows:
1) Add an IP group for the R&D department in the

Preferences

module.

2) By default, the HTTP service type already exists, and you need to add HTTPs to the

Service Type list in the

Preferences

module.

3) Create two rules to allow the HTTP and HTTPs packets from the R&D department to be

sent to the WAN.

4) Since visiting the internet needs DNS service, add a rule to allow the DNS packets to be

sent to the WAN. DNS service is already in the Service Type list by default.

5) Create a rule to block all packets from the R&D department to the WAN. This rule should

have the lowest priority among all the rules.
