Configuring the Default Outbound Policy
The Firewall Settings page allows the user to configure the default outbound
policy for the traffic that is directed from the secure network (LAN) to the non-
secure network (dedicated WAN/optional). The default inbound policy for traffic
flowing from the non-secure zone to the secure zone is always blocked and
cannot be changed.
To configure the default outbound policy:
STEP 1 Choose Firewall > Access Control > Default Outbound Policy.
STEP 2 Under the IPv4 or IPv6 fields, select one of the following:
• Always Allow—Always allow traffic from the secure to the non-secure
network.
• Always Block—Always block traffic from the secure to the non-secure
network.
NOTE Ensure that IPv6 support is enabled on the Cisco RV 120W to configure an IPv6
firewall. See Configuring IPv6, page 54.
STEP 3 Click Save.
Configuring Firewall Rules
All configured firewall rules on the Cisco RV 120W are displayed in the Firewall
Rules list. This list also indicates whether the rule is enabled (active), and gives a
summary of the “from/to” zone as well as the services and users the rule affects.
If you plan to apply a rule to a specific group of devices on your LAN, define the
group by selecting Networking > LAN Settings > LAN Groups. See Configuring
LAN Groups, page 45.
