Editing Firewall Security Rules
To edit the firewall security rules and customize them to your preference, at the
General
screen, select the security
option that want to edit, and then click
Apply
.
To set up custom security rules, select the
Custom Security (None)
option, and then click
Apply.
Next, click the
Edit
button
to go to the
Custom Rules
screen.
IMPORTANT
: Custom Security is a very advanced configuration option that allows you to edit the firewall
configuration directly. Only expert users should attempt this. It is recommended that you do not change the settings
in this screen. If you need to reset your Router to factory default settings, push the reset button on the rear of the
Router. Or follow the instructions in section 16.2, “Restore Defaults,” to restore the Router to default settings.
The
Custom Rules
screen allows you to co nfigure the security parameters on your Inbound and Outbound traffic.
Inbound rules will restrict in bound traffic from the WAN to the LAN. Outbound rules will restrict o utbound traffic
from the LAN to WAN. Enter the desired parameters in the Custom Rules screen, and then click
Save
to allow the
settings to take effect in your Router.
NOTE:
The default security setting is applied if a packet does not match any defines rules. Clicking
Save
allows the
firewall rules to be saved to flash (a temporary storage area in your Router).
