Firewall
Administrators can configure the virtual console server to act as a firewall. By default, three
built-in chains accept all INPUT, FORWARD and OUTPUT packets. Select the Add, Delete or
Change Policy buttons to add a user chain, delete user added chains and to change the built-in
chains policy. Default chains can have their policy changed (Change Policy) to accept or drop,
but cannot be deleted. Clicking on the Chain Name allows you to configure rules for chains.
Firewall configuration is available by clicking on Network - Firewall. Separate but identical
configuration screens are available from either the IPv4 Filter Table or IPv6 Filter Table menu
options.
Only the policy can be edited for a default chain; default chain policy options are ACCEPT
and DROP.
When a chain is added, only a named entry for the chain is created. One or more rules must be
configured for a chain after it is added.
Configuring the firewall
For each rule, an action (either ACCEPT, DROP, RETURN, LOG or REJECT ) must be selected
from the Target pull-down menu. The selected action is performed on an IP packet that matches
all the criteria specified in the rule.
