DESCRIPTION

0-100%

This bar displays the percentage of the ZyWALL’s firewall rules storage space that

is currently in use. When the storage space is almost full, you should consider

deleting unnecessary firewall rules before adding more firewall rules.

Enable Firewall

Select this check box to activate the firewall. The ZyWALL performs access control

and protects against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks when the firewall is activated.

Note: When you activate the firewall, all current connections through

the ZyWALL are dropped when you apply your changes.
