[. . . ] · Restrict use of certain protocols, such as Telnet, to authorized users on the LAN. These custom rules work by comparing the Source IP address, Destination IP address and IP protocol type of network traffic to rules set by the administrator. Your customized rules take precedence and override the ZyXEL Device's default rules. 9. 3 Rule Logic Overview Note: Study these points carefully before configuring rules. 9. 3. 1 Rule Checklist State the intent of the rule. For example, "This restricts all IRC access from the LAN to the Internet. " Or, "This allows a remote Lotus Notes server to synchronize over the Internet to an inside Notes server. " 1 Is the intent of the rule to forward or block traffic?2 What direction of traffic does the rule apply to?4 What computers on the LAN are to be affected (if any)?5 What computers on the Internet will be affected?For example, if traffic is being allowed from the Internet to the LAN, it is better to allow only certain machines on the Internet to access the LAN. 9. 3. 2 Security Ramifications 1 Once the logic of the rule has been defined, it is critical to consider the security ramifications created by the rule: 2 Does this rule stop LAN users from accessing critical resources on the Internet?For example, if IRC is blocked, are there users that require this service?3 Is it possible to modify the rule to be more specific?For example, if IRC is blocked for all users, will a rule that blocks just certain users be more effective? 158 Chapter 9 Firewall Configuration P-661H/HW Series User's Guide 4 Does a rule that allows Internet users access to resources on the LAN create a security vulnerability?For example, if FTP ports (TCP 20, 21) are allowed from the Internet to the LAN, Internet users may be able to connect to computers with running FTP servers. 5 Does this rule conflict with any existing rules?6 Once these questions have been answered, adding rules is simply a matter of plugging the information into the correct fields in the web configurator screens. 9. 3. 3 Key Fields For Configuring Rules 9. 3. 3. 1 Action Should the action be to Drop, Reject or Permit?Note: "Drop" means the firewall silently discards the packet. "Reject" means the firewall discards packets and sends an ICMP destination-unreachable message to the sender. 9. 3. 3. 2 Service Select the service from the Service scrolling list box. If the service is not listed, it is necessary to first define it. See Section 9. 9 on page 172 for more information on predefined services. 9. 3. 3. 3 Source Address What is the connection's source address; is it on the LAN or WAN?Is it a single IP, a range of IPs or a subnet? 9. 3. 3. 4 Destination Address What is the connection's destination address; is it on the LAN or WAN?Is it a single IP, a range of IPs or a subnet? 9. 4 Connection Direction This section describes examples for firewall rules for connections going from LAN to WAN and from WAN to LAN. LAN to LAN/ Router and WAN to WAN/ Router rules apply to packets coming in on the associated interface (LAN or WAN, respectively). LAN to LAN/ Router means policies for LAN-to-ZyXEL Device (the policies for managing the ZyXEL Device through the LAN interface) and policies for LAN-to-LAN (the policies that control routing between two subnets on the LAN). [. . . ] 3 The AP and wireless clients use the pre-shared key to generate a common PMK (Pairwise Master Key). 4 The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process to encrypt data exchanged between them. 366 Appendix K P-661H/HW Series User's Guide Figure 211 WPA(2)-PSK Authentication Security Parameters Summary Refer to this table to see what other security parameters you should configure for each Authentication Method/ key management protocol type.
