CHAPTER 13 Firewall 13.1 Overview Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your NBG6615 and your LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic. Enable the firewall to protect your LAN computers from attacks by hackers on the Internet and control access between the LAN and WAN. By default the firewall: • allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all of the networks. • blocks traffic that originates on the other networks from going to the LAN. The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User A can initiate an IM (Instant Messaging) session from the LAN to the WAN (1). Return traffic for this session is also allowed (2). However other traffic initiated from the WAN is blocked (3 and 4). Figure 65 Default Firewall Action 13.2 What You Can Do • Use the General screen to enable or disable the NBG6615's firewall (Section 13.4 on page 100). • Use the Services screen to enable or disable ICMP and VPN passthrough features (Section 13.5 on page 101).
