be repeated.

● Deny: It indicates that the Router will deny the packets matching the rule, that is,
the Router will drop these packets.
Filtering Type: It specifies the filtering type of the access rule. The options are IP
Filtering, URL Filtering, and Keyword Filtering. Here please select IP Filtering.
Protocol: It specifies the protocol to which the access rule applies. The options are 1
(ICMP), 6 (TCP), 17 (UDP), 51 (AH), and All. Select All if you want to the rule to
apply to all protocols. Apendix C provides the list of common IP protocols and their
protocol numbers.

associated port numbers. Select All if you want to the rule to apply to all ports
1-65535). Apendix D provides the list of common services and their port numbers.
Dest Port Start and Dest Port End: They specify a range of destination ports to
which the access rule applies. To specify a single port, enter the port number in both
text boxes. The port number must be between 1 and 65535.
Dest IP Start and Dest IP End: They specify a range of destination IP addresses to
which the access rule applies. To specify a single IP addres, enter the port number in
both text boxes.
Source Port Start and Source Port End: They specify a range of source ports to

Note
By default, the Source IP Range is from 0.0.0.0 to 0.0.0.0, which means the access
rule applies to all computers on the LAN no matter what IP address they might have.
In this case, the Router will check any packets initiated from the LAN computers, so
the system performance will be degraded to some extent. Therefore, you’d better
change the default value.
