3.5.5 Firewall Rule
This screen enables you to set up the firewall. The WRT-415 provides basic firewall functions, by filtering
all the packets that enter the WRT-415 using a set of rules. The rules are in an order sequence list: the
lower the rule number is, the higher the priority the rule has.
The rule profiles are listed in the table at the bottom of the page.
Enable: Click to enable or disable the firewall rule profile.
Name: Type a descriptive name for the firewall rule profile.
Action: Select whether to allow or deny packets that conform to the rule.
Inactive Timeout: Type the timeout period in seconds in this field. If the network is inactive for the
specified duration, the router refuses the incoming packet.
Source: Defines the source of the incoming packet that the rule is applied to.
Interface: Select which interface (WAN or LAN) the rule is applied to.
IP Range Start: Type the start IP address that the rule is applied to.
