Cisco RV120W Firewall Features
You can secure your network by creating and applying access rules that the
Cisco RV120W uses to selectively block and allow inbound and outbound Internet
traffic. You then specify how and to what devices the rules apply. You can
configure the following:
•
Services or traffic types (examples: web browsing, VoIP, other standard
services and also custom services that you define) that the router should
allow or block.
•
Rules for outbound (from your LAN to the Internet) or inbound (from the
Internet to your LAN) traffic.
