The screen shows existing rules for filtering outgoing FTP activity from specific IPv6 address ranges, as shown by the IPv6 Address and Prfx Lngth (Prefix Length) fields. The entry for *ALL shows general rules for incoming activity coming from IPv6 addresses that are not listed.

The FTP column either is blank or shows a letter indicating how Firewall is to filter FTP requests going to that IP Address Range.

  • Blank or N: Reject all incoming activity
  • S: Allow activity, but do not log this
  • Y: Allow activity

The final Text column shows a freeform text description of the rule.

To modify an existing rule, type 1 in the Opt column for that rule and press Enter.

To add a new rule, press the F6 key.
