User Manual
Commit
This will commit the rules to persistent storage and this will normally be done when the user is
satisfied with his/her current set of rules. All the above operations only apply to the temporary set
of rules and will be lost if they are not committed.
Restart firewall
Restart the firewall with the currently committed rules. Please make sure you have committed them
before restarting the firewall.
Note:
•
The order of the rules is important as they are applied in the same order that they are
displayed.
•
This panel will be replaced in future version by a firewall management list containing just the
IPs/networks that may access this router. This will simplify the configuration.
•
An IP of 0.0.0.0 is invalid. The word
any
or 0.0.0.0/0 can be used wherever an IP or network
address is required.
•
Broadcast packets are not sent over the GPRS network.
•
If there are errors in one of the rules the rule number will be displayed in the output. i.e ***
Invalid access rule <num> ***
