Customizing the Nokia IP45 Security Platform Security Policy
Nokia IP45 Security Platform User’s Guide v4.0

Note
User defined rules have priority over default rules.
The IP45 device processes user defined rules in the order they appear in the rules table, such that
rule 1 is applied before rule 2 and so on.
Allow and Block Rules
The allow and block rules provide you with greater flexibility in defining and customizing your
security policy. You can allow additional inbound services that are not on the virtual servers list,
or block outbound communications for specific port ranges and protocols.
To permit incoming access from the Internet to your internal network for specific port ranges
and protocols, you must create a new allow rule. To block outgoing access from your internal
network to the Internet for specific port ranges and protocols, create a new block rule.
Note
You can specify the IP address range for the source and destination fields in Allow and
Block rule.
