What is the
SuperStack 3
Firewall?
The SuperStack
®
3 Firewall is a dedicated firewall appliance which is
installed between a Private LAN and a Router. The Firewall is a complete
network security system with all hardware and software pre-installed.
This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the
Internet and the LAN.
The purpose of the Firewall is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN)
to be securely connected to the Internet. You can use the Firewall to:
■
Prevent theft, destruction, and modification of data.
■
Filter incoming data for unsafe or objectionable content.
■
Log events which may be important to the security of your network.
The Firewall has three Ethernet ports which are used to divide the
network into separate areas.
■
The
Wide Area Network
(WAN) port attaches to the Internet access
device, for example, Router or Cable Modem.
■
The
Local Area Network
(LAN) port attaches to the local network
through hubs and switches. LAN users have access to Internet services
such as e-mail, FTP, and the World Wide Web. However, all
workstations and data on the LAN are protected from hacker attacks
that might come through the WAN port.
