Chapter 11 Firewall Configuration 4 Does a rule that allows Internet users access to resources on the LAN create a security vulnerability? For example, if FTP ports (TCP 20, 21) are allowed from the Internet to the LAN, Internet users may be able to connect to computers with running FTP servers. 5 Does this rule conflict with any existing rules? 6 Once these questions have been answered, adding rules is simply a matter of plugging the information into the correct fields in the web configurator screens. 11.3.2 Key Fields For Configuring Rules 11.3.2.1 Action Should the action be to Drop, Reject or Permit? " "Drop" means the firewall silently discards the packet. "Reject" means the firewall discards packets and sends an ICMP destination-unreachable message to the sender. 11.3.2.2 Service Select the service from the Service scrolling list box. If the service is not listed, it is necessary to first define it. See Section 11.8 on page 183 for more information on predefined services. 11.3.2.3 Source Address What is the connection's source address; is it on the LAN or WAN? Is it a single IP, a range of IPs or a subnet? 11.3.2.4 Destination Address What is the connection's destination address; is it on the LAN or WAN? Is it a single IP, a range of IPs or a subnet? 11.4 Connection Direction This section describes examples for firewall rules for connections going from LAN to WAN and from WAN to LAN. Rules for the DMZ work in a similar fashion. LAN to LAN/ Router, WAN to WAN/ Router and DMZ to DMZ/Router rules applies to packets coming in on the associated interface (LAN, WAN, or DMZ respectively). LAN to LAN/ Router means policies for LAN-to-ZyXEL Device (the policies for managing the ZyXEL Device through the LAN interface) and policies for LAN-to-LAN (the policies that control routing between two subnets on the LAN). Similarly, WAN to WAN/ Router and DMZ to DMZ/ Router polices apply in the same way to the WAN and DMZ ports. P-662H/HW-D Series User's Guide 171

Chapter 11 Firewall Configuration

P-662H/HW-D Series User’s Guide

171

Does a rule that allows Internet users access to resources on the LAN create a security

vulnerability? For example, if FTP ports (TCP 20, 21) are allowed from the Internet to

the LAN, Internet users may be able to connect to computers with running FTP servers.

Does this rule conflict with any existing rules?

Once these questions have been answered, adding rules is simply a matter of plugging

the information into the correct fields in the web configurator screens.

11.3.2

Key Fields For Configuring Rules

11.3.2.1

Action

Should the action be to

Drop

Reject

Permit

“Drop” means the firewall silently discards the packet. “Reject” means the

firewall discards packets and sends an ICMP destination-unreachable

message to the sender.

11.3.2.2

Service

Select the service from the

Service

scrolling list box. If the service is not listed, it is necessary

to first define it. See

Section 11.8 on page 183

for more information on predefined services.

11.3.2.3

Source Address

What is the connection’s source address; is it on the LAN or WAN? Is it a single IP, a range of

IPs or a subnet?

11.3.2.4

Destination Address

What is the connection’s destination address; is it on the LAN or WAN? Is it a single IP, a

range of IPs or a subnet?

11.4

Connection Direction

This section describes examples for firewall rules for connections going from LAN to WAN

and from WAN to LAN. Rules for the DMZ work in a similar fashion.

LAN to LAN/ Router, WAN to WAN/ Router and DMZ to DMZ/Router rules applies to

packets coming in on the associated interface (LAN, WAN, or DMZ respectively). LAN to

LAN/ Router means policies for LAN-to-ZyXEL Device (the policies for managing the

ZyXEL Device through the LAN interface) and policies for LAN-to-LAN (the policies that

control routing between two subnets on the LAN). Similarly, WAN to WAN/ Router and DMZ

to DMZ/ Router polices apply in the same way to the WAN and DMZ ports.
