Port

This specifies the destination IP address(es) and port number(s) to be matched for a

firewall rule.

A single address, or a network, can be specified as the Source IP & Port setting, as

indicated with the following screenshots:

In addition, a single port, or a range of ports, can be specified for the Source IP & Port

setting.

Action

This setting specifies the action to be taken by Peplink Balance 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 Peplink

Balance (to be routed to the destination).

If the value of the Action setting is set to Deny, the matching traffic does not pass through

Peplink Balance (and is discarded).
