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’.
