General Firewall Settings

 1. Click Firewall > Access Control > ACL Rules.

The ACL Rules window opens. The firewall rules appear in the ACL Control List (ACL) table. The table includes all firewall rules for controlling traffic from a particular zone to a particular destination.

 2. The firewall rules are sorted by the priority. You can reorder the custom firewall rules by the priority. You can move a rule up, move a rule down, or move it to a specified location in the list.

 • To move the rule up one position, click the Move up icon.

 • To move the rule down one position, click the Move down icon.

 • To move the rule to a specific location, click the Move icon and enter the target index number to move the selected rule to.

For example: A target index of 2 moves the rule to position 2 and moves the other rules down to position 3 in the list.

NOTE: You cannot reorder the default firewall rules and VPN firewall rules. The custom firewall rules cannot be moved lower than the default firewall rules and VPN firewall rules.

 3. To view the list of firewall rules that belong to the same group, choose the source and destination from the From Zone and To Zone drop-down lists and click Apply. Only the rules for the specified zones appear.

For example: If you choose WAN from the From Zone drop-down list and choose LAN from the To Zone drop-down list, only the firewall rules from WAN to LAN appear.

 4. You can perform other tasks for firewall rules:

 • Check Enable to enable a firewall rule, or uncheck this box to disable it. By default, all default firewall rules are enabled.

 • To add a new entry, click the Add button.

 • To edit an entry, click the Edit (pencil) icon.

 • To delete an entry, click the Delete (x) icon.

 • To delete multiple entries, check them and click the Delete button.

 • Check Log to log the event when a firewall rule is hit. For information on configuring firewall logging settings, see Configuring Firewall Logging Settings.

 • To permit traffic access, choose Permit. To deny traffic access, choose Deny. To increase the Hit Count number by one when the packet hits the firewall rule, choose Accounting.

 • To view the type of a firewall rule, point your mouse cursor to the Detail icon.

 • To set the values in the Hit Count column for all firewall rules to zero, click Reset.

 • To manually refresh the data in the table, click Refresh.

NOTE: The default firewall rules cannot be disabled, deleted, edited, nor moved.
