Setting Firewall Rules for IP Addresses or System Names

Firewall can filter incoming activity by the IP address, IPv6 address , or SNA system name at which it originates. It can filter outgoing activity by the IP address or IPv6 address to which it is sent.

You can examine and create these rules, and use the Rule Wizards to built new rules based on activity in your system's logs, from the Work with Dynamic Filtering screen (STRFW > 2).
