WAN) routed data. The rules are based on IP address and TCP/UDP port.
Configure the filter rules as desired and click the Apply button to create the rule. The newly created rule
appears listed in the Outbound Filter List at the bottom of the window. The table below describes the various
parameters that are configured for the filter rules.
