Available Access Filters - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Available Access Filters

When you configure network filters, determine which protocols can or cannot access the NSS. To
display the list of available filters, click the drop-down arrow next to the Filter field on the Network
Filters page.
NOTE: Rejecting versus Dropping Traffic: When incoming traffic matches a "reject" filter,
the NSS drops the traffic and then sends a notice to the initiating system of the denial
of service. When incoming traffic matches a "drop" filter, the NSS drops the traffic
but no notice is sent to the initiating system.
• Allow All: This is the default filter. It tells the NSS to accept traffic via all supported protocols.
• Allow CIFS: Allow CIFS filesharing access.
• Allow FTP: Allow FTP and FTPS access.
• Allow HTTP: Allow access to the NSS configuration interface via a Web browser.
• Allow NFS: Allow NFS access.
• Reject CIFS: Do not allow CIFS filesharing access. The NSS informs the system initiating the
connection about the denial of service.
• Reject FTP: Do not allow FTP or FTPS traffic. The NSS informs the system initiating the
connection about the denial of service.
• Reject HTTP: Do not allow access to the NSS configuration interface via a Web browser. The
NSS informs the system initiating the connection about the denial of service.
