3.7 Firewall Settings
The firewall is a system or group of systems that enforce an access control policy between two
networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from an
un-trusted network. The WNAP-7300 has capabilities of Source IP Filtering, Destination IP Filtering,
Source Port Filtering, Destination Port Filtering, Port Forwarding as well as DMZ. This is available
only under Router Mode.
Source IP Filtering: The source IP filtering gives users the ability to restrict certain types of data
packets from your local network to Internet through the WNAP-7300. Use of such filters can be helpful
in securing or restricting your local network.

“Enable Destination IP Filtering” checkbox and enter the IP address of the clients to be restricted.
