in Use
This bar displays the percentage of the ZyWALL’s firewall rules storage space that is
currently in use. The bar turns from green to red when the maximum is being
approached. When the bar is red, you should consider deleting unnecessary firewall
rules before adding more firewall rules.
Packet Direction Use the drop-down list box to select a direction of travel of packets (LAN to LAN/
ZyWALL, LAN to WAN, LAN to DMZ, WAN to WAN/ZyWALL, WAN to LAN, WAN
to DMZ, DMZ to DMZ/ZyWALL, DMZ to LAN or DMZ to WAN) for which you want
to configure firewall rules.
Default Policy This field displays the default action and log policy you selected in the Default Rule
screen for the packet direction shown in the field above.
The following read-only fields summarize the rules you have created that apply to traffic traveling in the
selected packet direction. The firewall rules that you configure (summarized below) take priority over
the general firewall action settings above.
