Managing Inbound Traffic Instant now supports an enhanced inbound firewall by allowing the configuration of firewall rules and management subnets, and restricting corporate access through an uplink switch. To allow flexibility in firewall configuration, Instant supports the following features: l Inbound firewall rules l Configurable management subnets l Restricted corporate access Configuring Inbound Firewall Rules You can now configure firewall rules for the inbound traffic coming through the uplink ports of a W-IAP. The rules defined for the inbound traffic are applied if the destination is not a user connected to the W-IAP. If the destination already has a user role assigned, the user role overrides the actions or options specified in the inbound firewall configuration. However, if a deny rule is defined for the inbound traffic, it is applied irrespective of the destination and user role. Unlike the ACL rules in a WLAN SSID or a wired profile, the inbound firewall rules can be configured based on the source subnet. For all subnets, a deny rule is created by default as the last rule. If at least one rule is configured, the deny all rule is applied to the upstream traffic by default. Management access to the W-IAP is allowed irrespective of the inbound firewall rule. For more information on configuring restricted management access, see Configuring Management Subnets on page 189. The inbound firewall is not applied to traffic coming through the GRE tunnel. You can configure inbound firewall rules through the Instant UI or the CLI. In the Instant UI 1. Navigate to Security > Inbound Firewall. The Inbound Firewall tab contents are displayed. 2.
