9.2 Packet Direction Matrix

The ZyXEL Device’s packet direction matrix allows you to apply certain security settings
(like firewall) to traffic flowing in specific directions.
For example, click SECURITY > FIREWALL to open the following screen. This screen
configures general firewall settings.

Figure 97 SECURITY > FIREWALL > Default Rule

Packets have a source and a destination. The packet direction matrix in the lower part of the
screen sets what the ZyXEL Device does with packets traveling in a specific direction that do
not match any of the firewall rules.

To set the ZyXEL Device to block traffic from WAN 1 from going to the DMZ interfaces, find
where the From WAN1 row and the To DMZ column intersect and set the field to Drop as
shown.
