Configure Service Groups
A firewall is a security mechanism that lets network administrators selectively block or allow
certain types of traffic in accordance with rules that they specify.
When you create a firewall rule, you select a service to which the firewall rule applies. Use
the Service Group scree
n to create custom service groups for which firewall rules can be
defined. Once defined, the new service group appears in the Service list of the screens you
use to add or edit firewall rules.
To add a custom service group:
1. Log in to the unit:
a. In the address field of any of the qualified web browsers, enter
https://192.168.1.1.
The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.
b. In the User
name field, enter admin and in the Password / Passcode field, enter
password.
Use lowercase letters. If you changed the password, enter your persona
lized
password. Leave the domain as it is (geardomain).
c. Click the L
ogin button.
The Router Status screen displays. After five minutes of inactivity,
which is the default
login time-out, you are automatically logged out.
