Configuring firewall rules

jjabson — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 21:47:44 GMT

Hi,

When configuring firewall rules, I noticed "Local LAN" for Destination. I'm guess that's a special keyword that's use to identify the local LAN w/o having to put the IP address and subnet mask. I searching for documentation on this, but couldn't find it. Are there other keywords available that can be used?

Thanks in advance,

-Jerome

Hello @jjabson. They "Local LAN" rule is a pre-defined rule that is used for Wireless Firewalls, for all Internal (Private RFC addresses). You won't be able to use "Local LAN" as a keyword in your firewall rules.

The only other Keywords I'm aware of is "ANY" for any and the ability to use "-" in-between port numbers, for example, 1-5000 would imply port numbers 1 to 500.

"Local LAN" = all RFC1918 address space.
