Supported RADIUS servers
FreeRADIUS and Microsoft IAS 2003 are supported. Other commonly available RADIUS applications may
work but have not been fully tested.
Configure firewalls
Path: Configuration > Security > Firewall > Configuration
Enable or disable the firewall functionality. The configured policy is listed by default. Select the Enable check
box to enable the firewall. The check box is un-checked by default.
• Click Apply to confirm a firewall policy you have selected to enable. The Firewall Confirmation
page will open.
– The Confirmation page contains a recommendation to test the firewall before enabling. It is not
mandatory.
– The first hyperlink goes to the Firewall Policy page.
– The second hyperlink goes to the Firewall Test page.
– Click on Apply to enable the firewall and return to the Configuration page.
– Click on Cancel to return to the Configuration page without enabling the Firewall.
• Click Cancel: No new selection will be enabled. You stay on the Configuration page.
Path: Configuration > Security > Firewall > Active Policy
Select an active policy from the Available Policies drop-down list, and view the validity of that policy.
The current active policy is displayed by default; you can select another from the list.
• Click Apply to enable your changes. If a different firewall was selected and enabled, the change
is effective immediately. If a newly configured firewall policy has been selected, it is
recommended that you test the new firewall before enabling it. (See Configuration above.)
• Click Cancel to restore the original active policy and stay on the Active Policy page.
Path: Configuration > Security > Firewall > Active Rules
When a firewall is enabled, this read-only page lists the individual rules that are being enforced by a current
active policy. See the Create/Edit Policy section for descriptions of the fields (Priority, Destination, Source,
Protocol, Action, and Log).
Path: Configuration > Security > Firewall > Create/Edit Policy
Create a new policy; delete or edit an existing policy:
NOTE: While deleting an active enabled firewall policy cannot be done, editing a running policy can be done
but is not recommended as changes are applied immediately. Instead, disable the firewall, edit the policy, test
it, and then re-enable the policy.
Create a new policy: Click Add Policy, and type in the file name for the new firewall file. The filename should
have a .fwl file extension. If left without a file extension, .fwl will be appended to the name automatically.
• Click Apply: If the filename is legal, the empty file firewall policy file will be created. It will be
located in the /fwl folder with the other policies on the system.
• Click Cancel to return to the previous page without creating a new firewall file.
