Configuring Firewall Settings

The Mobility 7131 Access Point's firewall is a set of related programs located in the gateway on the
WAN side of the Mobility 7131 Access Point. The firewall uses a collection of filters to screen
information packets for known types of system attacks. Some of the Mobility 7131 Access Point's
filters are continuously enabled, others are configurable.

Use the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s Firewall screen to enable or disable the configurable firewall
filters. Enable each filter for maximum security. Disable a filter if the corresponding attack does not
seem a threat in order to reduce processor overhead. Use the WLAN Security screens (WEP,
Kerberos etc.) as required for setting user authentication and data encryption parameters.

To configure the Mobility 7131 Access Point firewall settings:

1. Select Network Configuration -> Firewall from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.
