11 Security
On the
Security
page, you can configure advanced security features, including firewall, policy-based routing,
and traffic shaping.
11.1 Firewall
You can set inbound and outbound rules and port forwarding for the firewall.
11.1.1 Inbound and Outbound Rules
You can set inbound and outbound rules to control inbound and outbound traffic on an interface. For
example, if a large number of attacks are initiated from an IP address, you can set an inbound rule on the
firewall to restrict traffic sent from this IP address.
If you want to prevent some internal users from accessing the Internet, set an outbound rule to restrict
outbound traffic sent from these users. Inbound and outbound rules contain the same parameters and differ
only in default settings. The following figure shows an example of adding an inbound rule.
Figure 11-1-1-a/b Adding an inbound rule
Name
: specifies the local identifier of the inbound rule.
Status
: enables or disables the rule.
Interface
: specifies the traffic forwarding interface. For an outbound rule, select the interface from
which traffic is sent out. For an inbound rule, select the interface on which traffic is received.
