Edit LAN WAN Service |
Outbound Service |
This page is used to modify a previously configured firewall rule for traffic
going from the LAN to the WAN. The following fields of an outbound rule can be
changed: |
Service Name: This is a unique name assigned to the
service. The name usually indicates the type of traffic the rule covers such as
ftp, ssh, telnet, ping, etc. Services not already in the list can be added on
the
Services page under the
Security menu. |
Filter: Defines an action to be taken on an
enabled rule. It can be: |
v |
Block Always: Block selected service at all times. |
v |
Allow Always: Allow selected service to pass
through at all times. |
v |
Block by schedule, otherwise allow: Works in
conjunction with a schedule defined in the
Schedule 1/2/3 pages. The selected
service will be blocked during the scheduled interval and will be allowed to
pass through at other times. |
v |
Allow by schedule, otherwise block: Works in
conjunction with a schedule defined in the
Schedule 1/2/3 pages. The selected
service will be allowed to pass through during the scheduled interval and will
be blocked at other times. |
|
LAN Users: Specifies whether one or more IP
addresses on the LAN will be affected by the rule. This rule will affect packets
for the selected service from the defined IP address or range of IP addresses on
the LAN side. |
v |
Any: All computers on the LAN will be affected by
the rule. |
v |
Single Address: A single LAN IP address will be
affected by the rule. |
v |
Address Range: A range of LAN IP addresses will be
affected by the rule. |
v |
Group: Computers that are part of the Group defined
in the Network Database will be affected by the rule (groups are defined under
the
Network Configuration menu,
LAN Groups page,
Edit Group Names link). |
|
WAN Users: Specifies whether one or more IP
addresses on the WAN will be affected by the rule. This rule will affect packets
for the selected service to the defined IP address or range of IP addresses on
the WAN side. |
v |
Any: All IP addresses on the WAN will be affected
by the rule. |
v |
Single Address: A single WAN IP address will be
affected by the rule. |
v |
Address Range: A range of WAN IP addresses will be
affected by the rule. |
|
Priority: The priority assigned to IP packets of
this service. The priorities are defined by “Type of Service (TOS) in the
Internet Protocol Suite” standards, RFC 1349. The router marks the Type Of Service (TOS) field as defined below: |
v |
Normal-Service: No special priority given to the traffic. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 0x00. |
v |
Minimize-Cost: Used when data must be transferred over a link that has a lower "cost". The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 0x02.
|
v |
Maximize-Reliability: Used when data needs to travel to the destination over a reliable link and with little or no retransmission. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 0x04.
|
v |
Maximize-Throughput: Used when the volume of data transferred during an interval is important even if the latency over the link is high. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 0x08. |
v |
Minimize-Delay: Used when the time required (latency) for the packet to reach the destination must be low. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a TOS value of 0x10. |
|
Log: Specifies whether the packets for this rule
should be logged or not. To log details for all packets that match this rule,
select
Always. Select
Never to disable logging.
For example, if an outbound rule for a schedule is selected as Block
Always,
then for every packet that tries to make an outbound connection for that
service, a message with the packet’s source address and destination address (and
other information) will be recorded in the log. Enabling logging may generate a
significant volume of log messages and is recommended for debugging purposes
only. |
NAT IP: Specifies
whether the source address of the outgoing packets on WAN should be
assigned WAN interface address or different one. |
NAT single IP is on: The
Interface to which the NAT IP belongs to. All the outgoing packets on WAN will
be routed through the specified WAN interface only. |
v |
WAN Interface Address:
All the outgoing packets on WAN will be assigned WAN interface address. |
v |
Single Address: All the outgoing packets on WAN
will be assigned the specified IP address. |
|
Note:
This option will be available only when WAN mode is "NAT". The IP
address specified should fall under the WAN subnet. |

Inbound Service |
This page is used to modify the previously configured firewall rule for traffic
coming from the WAN to the LAN. The following fields of an inbound rule can be
changed: |
Service Name: This is a unique name assigned to the
service. The name usually indicates the type of traffic the rule covers such as
ftp, ssh, telnet, ping, etc. Services not already in the list can be are added
to the
Services page under the
Security menu. |
Filter: Defines an action to be taken on the
enabled rule. It can be: |
v |
Block Always: Block selected service at all times. |
v |
Allow Always: Allow selected service to pass
through at all times. |
v |
Block by schedule, otherwise allow: Works in
conjunction with a schedule defined in the
Schedule 1/2/3 pages. The selected
service will be blocked during the scheduled interval and will be allowed to
pass through at other times. |
v |
Allow by schedule, otherwise block: Works in
conjunction with a schedule defined in the
Schedule 1/2/3 pages. The selected
service will be allowed to pass through during the scheduled interval and will
be blocked at other times. |
|
Send to LAN IP Address: Specifies an IP address and
port number of a machine on the LAN which is hosting the server. Select the port
number checkbox only if the server is listening on a port other than the
default. For example, if a machine on the LAN side is running a telnet server on
port 2000, then select the
Translate to Port Number checkbox and type 2000 in
the
Port field. If it is listening on the default port 23, then the
port number checkbox can be
left unchecked.
Note: This option is only available when the router is in NAT mode (see the
Network Configuration menu,
WAN Mode page.)
Destination: The WAN IP address that will map to the incoming server. It can
either be the address of the WAN port or another WAN IP address. This
field is only enabled under NAT mode because the router needs to map traffic
coming from a particular WAN port to a LAN machine. |
LAN Users: Specifies whether one or more IP
addresses on the LAN will be affected by the rule. This field is only enabled in
routing mode since the LAN is accessible only in this mode. |
v |
Any: All computers on the LAN will be affected by
the rule. |
v |
Single Address: A single LAN IP address will be
affected by the rule. |
v |
Address
Range: A range of LAN IP addresses will be affected
by the rule. |
v |
Group: Computers that are part of the Group defined
in the Network Database will be affected by the rule (groups are defined under
the Network Configuration menu, LAN Groups page, Edit Group Names link). |
|
WAN Users: Specifies whether all addresses or
specific IP addresses on the WAN will be affected by the rule. This rule will
affect packets for the selected service to the defined IP address or range of IP
addresses on the WAN side. |
v |
Any: All IP addresses on the WAN will be affected
by the rule. |
v |
Single
Address: A single WAN IP address will be affected
by the rule. |
v |
Address
Range: A range of WAN IP addresses will be affected
by the rule. |
|
