12.4 Connection Direction Examples
This section describes examples for firewall rules for connections going from LAN to WAN and from
WAN to LAN.
LAN to LAN/1500WR Wireless Router and WAN to WAN/1500WR Wireless Router rules apply to
packets coming in on the associated interface (LAN or WAN respectively). LAN to LAN/1500WR
Wireless Router means policies for LAN-to-1500WR Wireless Router (the policies for managing the
1500WR Wireless Router through the LAN interface) and policies for LAN-to-LAN (the policies that
control routing between two subnets on the LAN).

the WAN. When you configure a LAN to WAN rule, you in essence want to limit some or all users from
accessing certain services on the WAN. See the following figure.
