Field Description
IP version Specifies whether the policy applies to IPv4 or IPv6 traffic.
Source
(required)
Source of the traffic, which can be one of the following:
l any: Acts as a wildcard and applies to any source address.
l user: This refers to traffic from the wireless client.
l host: This refers to traffic from a specific host. When this option is chosen, you must configure
the IP address of the host.
l network: This refers to a traffic that has a source IP from a subnet of IP addresses. When this
option is chosen, you must configure the IP address and network mask of the subnet.
l alias: This refers to using an alias for a host or network. You configure the alias by navigating
to the Configuration > Advanced Services > Stateful Firewall > Destination page.
Destination
(required)
Destination of the traffic, which can be configured in the same manner as Source.
