Default Policies
The Default Policies section sets the basic firewall rules.
Default Policies
Sets the default firewall rules to accept or reject data flow between the following interfaces:
o
LAN to WAN
o
LAN to LAN
o
LAN to LOCAL
o
WAN to LOCAL
Sets the action for each rule:
o
Accepted: the data is allowed to pass from one interface type to the other interface type.
o
Rejected: the data is not allowed to pass form one interface type to the other interface type; the
gateway drops the data packets and sends a reject message to the source of the packets.
o
Dropped: the data is not allowed to pass from one interface type to the other interface type; the
gateway drops these data packets without sending a reject message.
NOTE:
The WAN to LOCAL traffic is by default "Dropped". This makes sure that no traffic coming from
the Internet can enter the gateway.
