Firewall configuration
The firewall must be disabled before you can make any changes to it. Confirm the
changes made by saving. Even if the firewall is disabled, the routing (WLAN access to the
LAN/WAN) and the masking (NAT) are still active. However, the AP cannot be 'pinged' via
the WAN interface.
L An activated firewall without any defined rules is useless as it imposes no access
restrictions. The firewall is then completely open.
The default policy defines the primary operation of the firewall. In accordance with the
source or destination of data, the AccessPoint can accept or reject the data traffic.
Input: Data traffic with the AccessPoint as destination.
Output: Data traffic with the AccessPoint as source.
Forward: Data traffic between WLAN/LAN and WAN that passes through the Access-
Point.
You can either select “Accept” to send the packet through or “Discard” to stop the traffic
with regard to how the AccessPoint reacts.
Add Firewall Rule
Click Add to create a rule.
Each rule is uniquely identified by a number, which is
also used for prioritization. The smaller the number, the
sooner the rule will be applied. Never assign the number
one to a rule as otherwise no rules with higher priority
can be inserted in front of it.
