Select the desired option: • Any - All Internet IP address are covered by this rule. • Single address - Enter the required address in the start fields. • Address range - If this option is selected, you must enter the start and finish fields. Destination Address These settings determine the destination IP address for this rule which will be applicable to incoming traffic, this rule will be applied only when the destination IP address of the incoming packet matches the IP address of the WAN interface selected or Specific IP address entered in this field.Selecting ANY enables the rule for any IP in destination field.similarly WAN1 and WAN2 corresponds to respective wan interfaces. QoS Priority This setting determines the priority of a service, which in turn, determines the quality of that service for the traffic passing through the firewall. By default, the priority shown is that of the selected service. The user can change it accordingly. If the user does not make a selection (i.e, leaves it as None), then the native priority of the service will be applied to the policy. +5 is the highest priority. See "Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities" on page 6-18. Log This determines whether packets covered by this rule are logged. Select the desired action: • Always - always log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not. This is useful when debugging your rules. • Never - never log traffic considered by this rule, whether it matches or not. 6-6 Firewall Protection and Content Filtering January 2005
