A remote site name or ID number designating a remote site that has been configured under the WAN Set-up Menu must
be entered before the options on this menu are made operational.
The WAN FIREWALL SET-UP MENU and LAN FIREWALL SET-UP MENU contains identical menu options.
They control the IP firewall settings for LAN and WAN connections to this device.
Remember that when the firewall function is set to both, all incoming and outgoing IP traffic to and/or from the
specified WAN remote site will be filtered. All IP traffic (TCP, UDP (ping), PPP and TFTP) received from or sent to the
specified remote site will be filtered out and not allowed through the firewall. To allow specific IP traffic to be passed between
another network connection and this remote site, either a firewall entry must be specified or a designated server must be
specified or a combination of the two. The direction in which the firewall is to filter traffic (inbound, outbound or both) is
specified under the Firewall option (3) or may be set on and individual firewall table entry basis via the Edit firewall entry option
(2).
1 - Designated Servers
The Designated Servers option directs you to the Designated Servers Menu, where the IP addresses may be defined for
the designated servers on this remote site network. A designated server is a device that is legally accessible from other
networks.
2 - Edit Firewall Entry
This option directs you to the Edit Firewall Entry Menu, where a table of entries that are to be allowed through the
firewall is defined. A firewall entry allows passage of IP traffic to and/or from this remote site and another IP network.
The Firewall table may have up to 128 entries per remote site.
3 - Firewall support
The Firewall option controls the direction in which Firewall filtering is to be applied by this P1700 to all traffic to
and/or form this remote site.
By default, the direction in which filtering will be applied for all entries in the firewall table is initially set to the direction
specified by this option. This direction may be changed for individual entries using the Edit firewall entry option (2). Once
the direction of filtering for some entries has been altered, changing the overall direction applied to the firewall table will
not affect those entries that have been changed; if a change is required, each entry that needs to be changed must be
edited individually.
