Order of Precedence for Rules
As you define new rules, they are added to the tables in the Rules menu, as shown in
Figure 4-8
:
Figure 4-8: Rules table with examples
For any traffic attempting to pass through the firewall, the packet information is subjected to the
rules in the order shown in the Rules Table, beginning at the top and proceeding to the default rules
at the bottom. In some cases, the order of precedence of two or more rules may be important in
determining the disposition of a packet. The Move button allows you to relocate a defined rule to a
new position in the table.

Services
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For
example, Web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game
hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a request for
service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This
number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet
that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request.
The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) and published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.” Service numbers for other
applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by the authors of the application.
Although the DG824M already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to
these choices. Use the procedure below to create your own service definitions.

from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet. In order to localize the time for your
log entries, you must select your Time Zone from the list.
Procedure 4-4:
Setting Your Time Zone
In order to localize the time for your log entries, you must specify your Time Zone:
1.

Note:
If your region uses Daylight Savings Time, you must manually check Adjust for
Daylight Savings Time on the first day of Daylight Savings Time, and uncheck it at the end.
Enabling Daylight Savings Time will cause one hour to be added to the standard time.
