Creating IP Filter rules
13 In the Redirection Mode field, select one of the following options:
• None—Select this option if you do not want to enable redirection.
• Normal—Select this option to enable redirection.
14 In the Redirect Host drop-down list, select the IP address or subnet to
which the original destination should be redirected. (To filter the type of
objects that appear in the list, select an option from the Show drop-down
list.)
15 To configure the days and times that the IP Filter rule is enabled, select the
Time tab. The following window appears. (See “About the IP Filter Time tab”
below.)
This tab allows you to determine whether an IP Filter rule is temporary and will
expire after a specific period of time. Follow the steps below.
1 In the Rule Time To Live area, specify whether this rule will expire (become
disabled). Select one of the following three options:
• No Expiration—Select this option if you do NOT want the rule to expire.
This is the default value.
• Offset—Select this option to specify a period of time that must elapse,
starting from the creation date of the rule, before the rule will expire (for
example, two days, one week, three years). When you select this
option, the Disable Rule In field appears. Select a time period from the
drop-down list (Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, or
Years) and then specify the appropriate number in the text box.
• Date/Time—Select this option to specify an exact date and time when
the rule will expire. When you select this option, additional fields appear.
In the Month, Day, and Year drop-down lists, specify the date that you
want the rule to expire. In the Time drop-down lists, specify the exact
time you want the rule to expire.
