Action
This setting specifies the action to be taken by the router upon encountering traffic that
matches the both of the following:
● Source IP & port
● Destination IP & port
With the value of Allow for the Action setting, the matching traffic passes through the router
(to be routed to the destination). If the value of the Action setting is set to Deny, the matching
traffic does not pass through the router (and is discarded).
Event Logging
This setting specifies whether or not to log matched firewall events. The logged messages
are shown on the page Status>Event Log. A sample message is as follows:
Aug 13 23:47:44 Denied CONN=Ethernet WAN SRC=20.3.2.1
DST=192.168.1.20 LEN=48 PROTO=TCP SPT=2260 DPT=80
● CONN: The connection where the log entry refers to
● SRC: Source IP address
● DST: Destination IP address
● LEN: Packet length
● PROTO: Protocol
