ProSafe Wireless-N VPN Firewall SRXN3205 Reference Manual - Groups. The rule is applied to a Group (see "Managing Groups and Hosts (LAN Groups)" on page 3-4 to assign PCs to a Group using the LAN Groups Database). • WAN Users. These settings determine which Internet locations are covered by the rule, based on the IP address. - Any. The rule applies to all Internet IP address. - Single address. The rule applies to a single Internet IP address. - Address range. The rule is applied to a range of Internet IP addresses. • Services. You can specify the desired Services or applications to be covered by this rule. If the desired service or application does not appear in the list, you must define it using the Services menu (see "Services-Based Rules" on page 5-2 and "Adding Customized Services" on page 515). • Schedule. You can specify whether the rule is to be applied on the Schedule 1, Schedule 2, or Schedule 3 time schedule (see "Setting Schedules to Block or Allow Traffic" on page 5-17). See "Using Rules & Services to Block or Allow Traffic" on page 5-2 for the procedure on how to use this feature. Services The Rules menu contains a list of predefined Services for creating firewall rules. If a service does not appear in the predefined Services list, you can define the service. The new service will then appear in the Rules menu's Services list. See "Services-Based Rules" on page 5-2 for the procedure on how to use this feature. Groups and Hosts You can apply these rules selectively to groups of PCs to reduce the outbound or inbound traffic. The LAN Groups Database is an automatically-maintained list of all known PCs and network devices. PCs and devices become known by the following methods: • DHCP Client Request. By default, the DHCP server in this firewall is enabled, and will accept and respond to DHCP client requests from PCs and other network devices. These requests also generate an entry in the LAN Groups Database. Because of this, leaving the DHCP server feature (on the LAN screen) enabled is strongly recommended. • Scanning the Network. The local network is scanned using ARP. requests. The ARP scan will detect active devices that are not DHCP clients. However, sometimes the name of the PC or device cannot be accurately determined, and will appear in the database as Unknown. • Manual Entry. You can manually enter information about a device.

devices. PCs and devices become known by the following methods:
DHCP Client Request.
By default, the DHCP server in this firewall is enabled, and will
accept and respond to DHCP client requests from PCs and other network devices. These
requests also generate an entry in the LAN Groups Database. Because of this, leaving the
DHCP server feature (on the LAN screen) enabled is strongly recommended.

detect active devices that are not DHCP clients. However, sometimes the name of the PC or
device cannot be accurately determined, and will appear in the database as Unknown.
