Inbound Policy
The Inbound Policy allows you to filter inbound (from the WAN into the user side
LAN) packets based on a set of rules. This enables you to deny access from different
sources and thus increase security.
A table of inbound policies is displayed with the following information. If there are no
policies, then a message stating “No Entries in Inbound Policy Database” will be
displayed in place of the table.
IP Address: This field specifies the IP address or addresses to which the policy
applies. Both the source IP (SrcIP) and destination IP (DesIP) are specified here.
Port #: This field specifies the Port number to which the policy applies. Both the
source port (SrcPort) and destination port (DesPort) are specified here.
Prot.: Short for protocol, this is the protocol to which the policy applies.
Act.: Short for action, this field specifies two possible actions: allow or deny.
Opt. Filtering: Optional Filtering field specifies the time period to which the policy
applies.
