passed through the Router from either side of the gateway. The rules are created and

controlled by the network administrator and can be precisely defined. These rules are

used to block access to the LAN from outside the network and/or to deny access to the

WAN from within the network. The Router uses filtering rules to examine data packet

headers for specific information. Packets passing through the Router that do not meet

the criteria specified by the rule set are dropped.

Effective implementation of packet filtering requires detailed knowledge of network

services and communication protocols. An overly complicated filtering scheme can

adversely affect the Router’s performance, while an inadequate set of rules may

needlessly compromise security.

This Router has two fields to configure for filtering which are IP Filters and MAC Filters.

Advanced > Filters > IP Filters

This window will aid the

use in configuring filters

for IP addresses. This will

deny specified LAN IP

addresses or specific

ports associated with

these LAN IP address

from accessing the

Internet. Well known ports

have already been

previously set in the IP

Filters List and can be

modified by clicking their

corresponding edit icon,

and simple adding an IP

address to the

configuration.
