Configuring advanced subnet access
Use the Advanced Subnet Access screen to configure complex access rules and filtering based on
source port, destination port, and transport protocol. To enable advanced subnet access, the
subnet access rules must be overridden. However, the Advanced Subnet Access screen allows you
to import existing subnet access rules into the advanced subnet access rules.
To configure Mobility 5181 Access Point Advanced Subnet Access:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Firewall -> Advanced Subnet Access from the Mobility 5181
Access Point menu tree.
2. Configure the Settings field as needed to override the settings in the Subnet Access screen
and import firewall rules into the Advanced Subnet Access screen.
3. Configure the Firewall Rules field as required add, insert or delete firewall rules into the list of
advanced rules.
