5.1.17 Port filter
Port filtering is the practice of allowing or blocking (opening/closing) network packets into or out of a device or
the network based on their port number. Blocking network ports with a port filter allows administrators to restrict
specific operations such as file transfers through ports used for FTP and torrents.
Steps to follow:
1) Advanced Port Filter page
2) Enter the desired port number in the Start Port & End Port fields.
NOTE: When forwarding a range of ports, enter the start and end of the port range in the two fields.
3) Click the Protocol drop-down menu and select the appropriate protocol (TCP, UDP, or Both).
4) Click the “+” button to add the rule
