Firewall Protection and Content Filtering
v1.0, March 2009
Setting a Schedule to Block or Allow Specific Traffic
Schedules define the timeframes under which firewall rules may be applied.
Three schedules, Schedule 1, Schedule 2 and Schedule3 can be defined, and any one of these can
be selected when defining firewall rules.
To invoke rules based on a schedule, follow these steps:
1.
Select
Security
>
Schedule
to display the
Schedule 1
tab page.
2.
Check the radio button for All Days or Specific Days. If you chose Specific Days, check the
radio button for each day you want the schedule to be in effect.
3.
Check the radio button to schedule the time of day: All Day, or Specific Times. If you chose
Specific Times, enter the Start Time and End Time fields (Hour, Minute, AM/PM), which will
limit access during certain times for the selected days.
4.
Click
Apply
to save your settings to
Schedule 1.
Repeat these steps to set to a schedule for
Schedule 2
and
Schedule 3.
Configuring a Bandwidth Profile
To prevent one user or group from using excessive inbound or outbound bandwidth, you can
define a bandwidth profile to set a minimum and maximum bandwidth for an individual or group.
You can apply a defined profile in a firewall rule to limit specific protocols or all traffic (see
“Using Rules to Block or Allow Specific Kinds of Traffic” on page 4-2
).
To create a bandwidth profile:
