Firewall Policy
The Firewall Policy feature lets you view and modify firewall configurations—
access rules and CBAC inspection rules—in the context of the interfaces whose
traffic they filter. Using a graphical representation of the router and its interfaces,
you can choose different interfaces on the router and see whether an access rule
or an inspection rule has been applied to that interface. You can also view the
details of the rules displayed in the Edit Firewall Policy/ACL window.
Edit Firewall Policy/ACL
Use the Edit Firewall Policy/ACL window to view the access and inspection rules
in a context that displays the interfaces the rules are associated with. Also use it
to modify the access and inspection rules that are displayed.
Configure a Firewall Before Using the Firewall Policy Feature
Before using the Edit Firewall Policy/ACL window, you should perform the
following tasks:
1. Configure LAN and WAN interfaces. You must configure the LAN and
WAN interfaces before you can create a firewall. You can use the LAN and
WAN wizards to configure connections for your router.
2. Use the Firewall Wizard to configure a firewall and a DMZ.The Firewall
Wizard is the easiest way to apply access rules and inspection rules to the
inside and outside interfaces you identify, and will allow you to configure a
DMZ interface and specify the services that should be allowed onto the DMZ
network.
