CHAPTER 24
Firewall
24.1 Overview
Use the firewall to block or allow services that use static port numbers. Use
application patrol (see Chapter 32 on page 553) to control services using flexible/
dynamic port numbers. The firewall can also limit the number of user sessions.
This figure shows the ZyWALL’s default firewall rules in action and demonstrates
how stateful inspection works. User 1 can initiate a Telnet session from within the
LAN zone and responses to this request are allowed. However, other Telnet traffic
initiated from the WAN or DMZ zone and destined for the LAN zone is blocked.
Communications between the WAN and the DMZ zones are allowed. The firewall
allows VPN traffic between any of the networks.
