LAN users (or DMZ
users). Only when the IPv4 routing mode is Classical Routing, you
can specify which computers on your network are affected by an inbound rule. When
Classical Routing is enabled, there are several options:

LAN WAN outbound rules but not for DMZ WAN outbound rules.) The Known PCs
and Devices table is an automatically maintained list of all known computers and
network devices and is generally referred to as the network database, which is
described in Manage the Network Database o

For information about how to define bandwidth profiles, see Create Bandwidth Profiles on
page 175.
