IP Validators
An IP Validator is a rule that determines how the Firewall should handle packets received from or sent to a
specific IP address or a range of addresses. If you know the address details of a specific external host
whom you believe may attempt to infiltrate or damage your internal network, you can block traffic from that
host. Similarly, if an internal host is accessing an external web site that contains unacceptable material,
you can block their access to it. You must also determine which direction packets should be allowed to
travel in:
inbound; permitted traffic is transported from the outside interface to the inside interface
outbound; permitted traffic is transported from the inside interface to the outside interface
both; inbound and outbound rules apply
