Protocol

This setting specifies the protocol to be matched.

Via a drop-down menu, the following protocols can be specified:

● Any

● TCP

● UDP

● ICMP

● DSCP

● IP

Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically

fill in the protocol and port number of common Internet services (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.)

After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol

and port number remains manually modifiable.

Source and

Port

This specifies the destination IP address(es) and port number(s) to be matched for the

firewall rule. A single address, or a network, can be specified as the Destination IP & Port

Action

This setting specifies the action to be taken by the router upon encountering traffic that

matches the both of the following:

router (to be routed to the destination). If the value of the Action setting is set to Deny, the

matching traffic does not pass through the router (and is discarded).

are shown on the page Status>Event Log. A sample message is as follows:
