Firewall Mode

The firewall mode is a modification of the router mode. With

the R3000 set up in this mode, the unit will filter all requests.

If the request is appropriate, the original packet will pass

unchanged. If the request is inappropriate, the original

packet will be blocked from being routed through.

Using the firewall mode, while the outgoing request is

delayed slightly—to allow filtering to take place before the

packet leaves the gateway router of the network—return

traffic remains unaffected.
