Chapter 10 Firewall Configuration

151

Does a rule that allows Internet users access to resources on the LAN create a security

vulnerability? For example, if FTP ports (TCP 20, 21) are allowed from the Internet to the

LAN, Internet users may be able to connect to computers with running FTP servers.

Does this rule conflict with any existing rules?

Once these questions have been answered, adding rules is simply a matter of plugging the

information into the correct fields in the web configurator screens.

10.3.3

Key Fields For Configuring Rules

10.3.3.1

Action

Should the action be to

Drop

Reject

Permit

Note:

“Drop” means the firewall silently discards the packet. “Reject” means the

firewall discards packets and sends an ICMP destination-unreachable

message to the sender.

10.3.3.2

Service

Select the service from the

Service

scrolling list box. If the service is not listed, it is necessary

to first define it. See

Section 10.8 on page 163

for more information on predefined services.

10.3.3.3

Source Address

What is the connection’s source address; is it on the LAN or WAN? Is it a single IP, a range of

IPs or a subnet?

10.3.3.4

Destination Address

What is the connection’s destination address; is it on the LAN or WAN? Is it a single IP, a

range of IPs or a subnet?

10.4

Connection Direction

This section describes examples for firewall rules for connections going from LAN to WAN

and from WAN to LAN.

LAN to LAN/ Router and WAN to WAN/ Router rules apply to packets coming in on the

associated interface (LAN or WAN respectively). LAN to LAN/ Router means policies for

LAN-to-ZyXEL Device (the policies for managing the ZyXEL Device through the LAN

interface) and policies for LAN-to-LAN (the policies that control routing between two subnets

on the LAN). Similarly, WAN to WAN/ Router polices apply in the same way to the WAN

port.
