14. IP Filtering
Entries in this table are used to restrict certain types of data packets from your local network to Internet
through the Gateway. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting your local network.
The IP filter feature enables you to create rules that control the forwarding of incoming and outgoing data
between the LAN and WAN side.
You can create IP filter rules to block attempts by certain computers on your LAN to access certain types of
data or Internet locations. You can also block accesses to your LAN computers from the WAN side.
When you define an IP filter rule and enable the feature, you instruct the ADSL/Ethernet router to examine
data packets to determine whether they meet criteria set forth in the rule. The criteria can include the network
or internet protocol, the packet carries the direction in which it is traveling (for example, from the LAN to the
WAN and vice versa).
If the packet matches the criteria established in a rule, the packet can either be accepted (forwarded towards
its destination), or denied (discarded), depending on the action specified in the rule.
The IP Filter Configuration page provides the capability to enable/disable the IP filter feature and the IP Filter
rule entries for all currently established rules.
