15.6.1 Firewall Rules Overview
Your customized rules take precedence and override the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries’s default
settings. The AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries checks the source IP address, destination IP address and
IP protocol type of network traffic against the firewall rules (in the order you list them). When the
traffic matches a rule, the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries takes the action specified in the rule.
Firewall rules are grouped based on the direction of travel of packets to which they apply:
Note: The LAN includes both the LAN port and the WLAN.
By default, the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries’s stateful packet inspection allows packets traveling in
the following directions:
• LAN to Router
These rules specify which computers on the LAN can manage the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries
(remote management).
Note: You can also configure the remote management settings to allow only a specific
computer to manage the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.
