Cisco RV215W Firewall Features
You can secure your network by creating and applying rules that th e device uses
to selectively block and allow inbound and outbound Internet traffic. You then
specify how and to what devices the rules apply. To do so, you must define the
following:
• Services or traffic types (examples: web browsing, VoIP, other standard
services and also custom services that you define) that the router should
allow or block.
• Direction for the traffic by specifying the source and destination of traffic;
this is done by specifying the From Zone (LAN/WAN/DMZ) and To Zone
(LAN/WAN/DMZ).
• Schedules as to when the router should apply rules.
• Keywords (in a domain name or on a URL of a web page) that the router
should allow or block.
