Configuring IP Filters
When you define an IP filter rule and enable the feature, you instruct the
HM210dp/di to examine each data packet it receives to determine whether
it meets criteria set forth in the rule. The criteria can include the size of the
packet, the network or internet protocol it is carrying, the direction in which
it is traveling (for example from the LAN to the Internet or vice versa), the IP
address of the sending computer, the destination IP address, and other
characteristics of the packet data.
If the packet matches the criteria established in a rule, the packet can either
be accepted (forwarded towards its destination) or denied (discarded)
depending on the action specified in the rule.
