Firewall
About
The TR7 ASP device comes with an embedded Firewall. It is a L4 stateful Firewall developed for high performance, designed to block L1-L5 attacks without the packets reaching the L7 layer. The TR7 ASP Firewall fundamentally operates in the following ways:
- Packet Filtering (Based on Packets)
- Rule Based
- Stateful
IP, Network, MAC level TCP, UDP, ICMP, UDP-Lite, AH, OSPF protocols can be allowed, blocked, routed, SNAT, and DNAT. By default, all protocols and ports are closed, and as new vServices are defined, firewall rules are automatically created to allow the operation of the relevant service.
How to Add?
To add a new Firewall Rule through the TR7 ASP web interface, follow the steps Network > Firewall > Add.
