Configuring Firewall Rules for Packet Filtering
By selecting the Network - Firewall menu option, the administrative user can configure
packet filtering.
The Network
- Firewall screen provides an interface to iptables. Six built-in chains are
pre
-configured with hidden rules. Using this screen, an administrative user can define rules for the
built
-in chains. Once rules have been administratively defined, they can be edited or deleted.
The top three chains shown on the screen are defined in the iptables filter table and the bottom three
chains are defined in the iptables nat table. An Add new <table_name> <chain_name > rule button
appears under the entry for each chain, for example the Add new NAT prerouting rule button
appears under the entry for the nat PREROUTING chain.
Administrative users may want to add rules to the default chains to suit their environment and their
needs. Whenever a rule is added, a number is assigned automatically, starting with 0. An Edit and a
Delete button appear next to the entry for each administrator
-defined rule.
To add a new packet filtering (firewall) rule:
1. Select the Network
- Firewall menu option.
