3.7.6 IP
Filters
The IP filtering feature allows you to block specific applications/services based on the IP
address of a LAN device. You can use the IP Filters page to block specific traffic (for example,
block web access) or any traffic from a host on your local network.
A database of predefined IP filters allows you to apply one or more filtering rules to one or
more members of a defined LAN group. You can view the rules associated with a predefined
filter and add the available rules for a given category. You can also create, edit, or delete your
own IP filter rules.
