7.4 Filter Types and SUA
There are two classes of filter rules, Generic Filter (Device) rules and Protocol Filter (TCP/IP) rules.
Generic Filter rules act on the raw data from/to LAN and WAN. Protocol Filter rules act on the IP packets.
Generic and TCP/IP filter rules are discussed in more detail in the next section. When SUA (Single User
Account) is enabled, the inside IP address and port number are replaced on a connection-by-connection basis,
which makes it impossible to know the exact address and port on the wire. Therefore, the Prestige applies
the protocol filters to the “native” IP address and port number before SUA for outgoing packets and after

Enter Filter Rule Number (1-6) to Configure: 1
This shows you that you have
configured and activated (A =
Y) a TCP/IP filter rule (Type =
IP, Pr = 6) for destination
telnet ports (DP = 23).
M = N means an action can be taken
immediately, i.e., we don’t need more rules
to block telnet. The action is to drop the
packet if the action is matched (m = D) and
the next rule is checked (n = N) if the
action is not matched.
