After the choice is made, you candefine selection rules to “select” which packets will be allowed (or disallowed).Each selection rule consists of- a set of local IP addresses/ports, plus- a set of remote IP addresses/ports,where IP addresses can be- a single IP address,- a range of IP addresses,- a network address, or- any IP address,and port numbers can be- a single port number,- a range of port numbers, or- any port number.Therefore packet filtering simply defines sets of rules of what to allow or disallowthrough a set of parameters as highlighted below:remote devices with IP addresses/port numbersare allowed (or disallowed) to communicate withlocal devices with IP addresses/port numbers overa WAN connection.Examples of packet filtering requirements are:1. “I want to block any outside user from being able to telnet into my webserver”.2. “I want to disallow people in the manufacturing department to access theInternet“.The corresponding “translated” packet rules are:1. remote devices with ANY IP address/port number are disallowed tocommunicate with the local web server (identified by its IP address and theHTTP port number over my Internet connection.2. remote devices with the range of IP addresses in the manufacturingdepartment and any port number are disallowed to communicate with any IPaddress/port number over my Internet connection.Adding/Editing/Deleting a Packet RuleTo add a new packet rule or to edit an existing one, select IP Filter from the SMART |
