Understanding the firewall’s behaviour
This section gives extra information to support the GUI configuration description,
because to understand which rules you need to create, you need to understand the
default behaviour of the firewall and firewall policies. The default behaviour of the firewall
policies is as follows:
■ Traffic from the public side (WAN) to the private side (LAN) is always denied unless
specifically allowed.
■ Traffic from the private side (LAN) to the public side (WAN) is always allowed unless
specifically denied.
■ If a policy has multiple public interfaces, then the default behaviour is to allow traffic
that arrives at one public interface destined for an address beyond the other public
interface.
The initial configuration created by the GUI has two policies:
■ A LAN policy.
Private interface LAN and public interfaces WAN and DMZ.
■ A DMZ policy.
Private interface DMZ and public interfaces LAN and WAN.
These policies correspond to the following firewall commands.
Given the default behaviour of the firewall, the default behaviour of traffic going to and
from the LAN and DMZ policies can be summarised as shown in Table 4 on page 19, and
Table 5 on page 20.
