Firewall Scripts
Your router can secure your network and data communications with built-in firewall
capabilities. A firewall is any combination of hardware and software that secures a
network and traffic to prevent interception or intrusion. For additional information on IP
filtering and firewalls, see “IP Filtering” on page 5-23.
The router is equipped with predefined scripts that can be modified or used directly to
construct firewalls. The four firewall options available are:
• Maximum: Establishes a firewall with the most restrictive policies for
maximum network security.
• Medium: Establishes a firewall with flexible policies for a moderate level of
network security.
• Minimum: Establishes a firewall with a basic set of policies for a minimum
level of network security.
• None: No firewall.
