20 How to configure the AT-AR450S Firewall using the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
C613-16011-00 REV A

You can see these two policies conflict in their opinion as to whether traffic should be
allowed between the LAN and DMZ interfaces. The “law” in such cases of conflict is:
'If ANY of the policies state that packets between a particular pair of interfaces should be
disallowed, then they will be disallowed".
The effect of these policies is that traffic may only pass from LAN to WAN and from DMZ
to WAN. All other traffic will be disallowed.
Adding the rule shown below has the effect that the DMZ policy will allow all traffic from
LAN to DMZ.
Given that the LAN policy also allows all traffic from LAN to DMZ, and all traffic from
LAN to WAN, the two policies thereby unanimously agree that those traffic flows should
be allowed.
Hence, the default behaviour of the initial firewall configuration created by the GUI is
shown in Table 6.
Therefore, it is only necessary to create further firewall rules if the desire is to change the
behaviour of the firewall from that shown in Table 6.
For more information about the GUI, and about the Firewall, see the GUI Help, your
AR450S User Guide and Software Reference, or contact your nearest authorised Allied
Telesyn reseller or distributor.
