OPTION DESCRIPTION

Bound

Use the drop down list to select the direction of the traffic for which you want

to apply to the rule. Inbound refers to all traffic that is entering the router

including data entering from the WAN and the LAN. Outbound refers to all

traffic exiting the router including traffic leaving in the direction of the WAN

and traffic leaving in the direction of the LAN. Forward specifies traffic that

enters on the LAN or WAN side and is forwarded to the opposite end.

Protocol

Use the drop down list to select the protocol for the rule. You can have the

rule apply to All protocols, TCP, UDP, UDP/TCP or ICMP.

MAC Address

Enter the MAC address in six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by

colons (:). e.g. 00:40:F4:CE:FA:1E

Source IP Address

Enter the IPv4 address that the traffic originates from and the subnet mask

using CIDR notation.

Source Port Range (From) –

(To)

Only appears for TCP, UDP and UDP/TCP options. Use these fields to

specify a port or range of ports from the source side to use for the rule. To

specify a single port, repeat it in both the (From) and (To) fields.

Destination IP Address

Enter the IPv4 address that the traffic is destined for and the subnet mask

using CIDR notation.

Destination Port Range

(From) – (To)

Only appears for TCP, UDP and UDP/TCP options. Use these fields to

specify a port or range of ports on the destination side to use for the rule. To

specify a single port, repeat it in both the (From) and (To) fields.

Action

Select the action to take for traffic which meets the above criteria. You can

choose to Accept or Drop packets. When the default rule is set to Accept,

you cannot create a rule with an Accept action since the rule is redundant.

Likewise, if the default rule is set to Dropped you cannot create a rule with a

Drop action.

Comment

[Optional] Use this field to enter a comment as a meaningful description of

the rule.
