Firewall configuration
Administrators can configure the ACS 6000 console server to act as a firewall. By default, three
built-in chains accept all INPUT, FORWARD and OUTPUT packets. Select the Add, Delete or
Change Policy buttons to add a user chain, delete user added chains and to change the built-in
chains policy. Default chains can have their policy changed (Change Policy) to accept or drop, but
cannot be deleted. Clicking on the Chain Name allows you to configure rules for chains.
Firewall configuration is available by clicking on Appliance Settings - Firewall. Separate but
identical configuration screens are available from either the IPv4 Filter Table or IPv6 Filter Table
menu options.
Only the policy can be edited for a default chain; default chain policy options are ACCEPT and
DROP.
NOTE: If a default chain is selected and Delete is clicked, an error message appears. No user action is required.
