Firewall Rule Configuration Example - ZyXEL Communications USG-100@USG-200 - V2.20 ED 2 Manual

• The first row allows any LAN1 computer to access the IRC service on the WAN
by logging into the ZyWALL with the CEO's user name.
• The second row blocks LAN1 access to the IRC service on the WAN.
• The third row is the firewall's default policy of allowing all traffic from the LAN1
to go to the WAN.
The rule for the CEO must come before the rule that blocks all LAN1 to WAN IRC
traffic. If the rule that blocks all LAN1 to WAN IRC traffic came first, the CEO's IRC
traffic would match that rule and the ZyWALL would drop it and not check any
other firewall rules.
