11.3 Policy Database
This section describes the Restriction > Policy Database page.
Note
In this document the policy database is called PDB for short.
11.3.1 Introduction to Policy Database
This page allows you to not only view the PDBs in the Policy Database List, but also
upload and update PDBs. By introducing PDB, we can add a group of policies into a PDB;
and we also provide PDB online update function to greatly facilitate the users. The Device
currently supports four types of PDBs, which includes Route PDB, DNS PDB, Website
PDB and Firewall PDB; and in the future, UTT Technologies Co., Ltd. will successively
provide more types of PDBs according to actual user requirements.
The route PDBs can be referenced and configured in the Advanced > Static Route page.
By introducing route PDB, the XVHUVGRQ¶t need add static routes one by one, but instead
create a large batch of static routes for each ISP connection at a time. Then the traffic
destined for one ISP¶s servers will be forwarded through this ISP¶s connection, but not
another ISP¶s connection; such as, the traffic destined for TEL servers will be forwarded to
the TEL connection, the traffic destined for CNC servers will be forwarded to the CNC
Internet connection, and the traffic destined for ChinaMobile servers will be forwarded to
the ChinaMobile Internet connection. Thus the LAN hosts can access those servers
normally. Refer section 7.1.2 Static Route Policy Database for more information about
route PDBs.
The firewall PDBs, DNS PDBs, and Website PDBs are referenced and configured in the
Restriction > Behavior Mgmt. > Behavior Mgmt. Settings page. By introducing firewall
PDBs, you GRQ¶W need add multiple access control rules one by one, but instead just click
some check boxes to block or allow the LAN users to use popular IM (e.g., QQ, MSN) and
P2P applications (e.g., BitComet, BitSpirit, Thunder Search).
