Usage Guidelines

This command disables the firewall function that blocks incoming traffic on a WAN interface. It takes effect only when there is a single physical port active on the Island.

This command should be used with extreme care and is intended only for very specific use cases such as using Island as a dedicated VPN concentrator, where firewall functionality is undesirable or handled by an external firewall. Note that all other Island functionality, including content filtering, is still active even when the firewall is disabled.

Examples

ip firewall off
