Wan > Lan - MB Connect Line mbNET Series Manual

WAN > LAN
This setting governs the incoming data traffic, i.e. the following settings only apply to data traffic arriving from
outside the network.
Depending on the router type, the selection field for the WAN interface may vary.
"WAN" is always the currently active interface with the Internet as far as the mbNET firewall is concerned.
The following rule is determined by the setting under "Network > Internet":
Internet Connection:
Internet via WAN (external router, fixed line)
Here the WAN Ethernet is the interface to the Internet. The firewall therefore checks the data traffic from WAN
Ethernet to LAN Ethernet.
Internet via Modem
The modem is the interface with the Internet here. The firewall therefore checks the data traffic from the mo-
dem to the LAN Ethernet. All data traffic on the WAN Ethernet interface is denied with this setting.
Internet via WAN
The "DSL data traffic" via the WAN Ethernet is the interface with the Internet here. The firewall therefore
checks the data traffic from the DSL modem to the LAN Ethernet. All other data traffic on the WAN Ethernet
interface is denied with this setting.
