3 Click basic to display the options for firewall policy:
4 Select one of the following. Unless you have the necessary expertise and need to setup a custom firewall,
use High, Medium, or Low:
5 Click Apply to apply your changes.
Caution!
Firewalls are not foolproof. Choose the most secure firewall policy you can. To enable easy network
setup, the default firewall policy is Low, which provides minimum security.
High Safest configuration, highest security. We recommend this setting.
Medium Common configuration, modest risk.
Low Minimum security, higher risk.
Custom You can create a custom firewall policy on the Firewall > POLICY — advanced Page (see page 39). Do
not create a custom policy unless you have the necessary expertise and the need to do so.
None This setting disables the firewall. This is the default action. You may consider using one of the SBG1000
pre-defined firewall policies to enhance your network security.
