Src Port: This specifies the Source Port for the Inbound Policy. This is the external

(WAN side, outside of the firewall) port(s) that will be affected by the policy. In this

field, there are two port entry fields and a dropdown menu. The dropdown menu

has four options:

Any Port: Selecting this will cause all Ports to be affected by the policy. When this is

selected, you will be unable to enter any information into the Port entry fields.

Single Port: Selecting this will cause only one Port to be affected by the policy. This

port will need to be specified by the user in the first Port entry field.

Port Range: Selecting this will enable you to select a range of Ports to which the

policy will apply. The first Port in the range must be entered in the first Port entry

field and the last Port in the range must be entered in the second Port entry field.

Safe Ports: Any port greater than 1024 (1025-65535) is considered a safe port.

Dest Port: This specifies the Destination Port for the Inbound Policy. This is the

internal (LAN side, behind the firewall) Port that will be affected by the policy. See

Src Port above for configuration detail.

Transport Protocol: This specifies the Transport/ Transfer protocol for the policy. The

following protocol options are available: All, TCP, UDP, ICMP, AH, ESP and GRE.

Filtering Action: This specifies what action the policy takes:

Allow: Selecting this will cause the policy to allow packet transfer from the Src IP

through the Src Port to travel through the Dest Port to the Dest IP. All of these are

specified above and must be configured by the user.

Deny: Selecting this will cause the policy to deny packet transfer from the Src IP

through the Src Port to travel through the Dest Port to the Dest IP. All of these are

specified above and must be configured by the user.

Time Window Filtering: This field allows you to select a certain time frame from the

Time Group in which this policy will be active.

DB: Short for Database, this field allows you to select a user-defined IP Group for the

Src IP and Dest IP fields and user-defined Service Group for the Dest Port.

User-defined IP and Service Groups are created in IP Group and Service Group
