Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0

I have created a firewall rule to allow Ping responses to requests that originate from specific addresses but it does not work and the documentation is incomplete so would appreciate some guidance on how to set this up. This is what I have;

 

 

I have tried setting the destination to "Me" and other options but this does not work either. The only way to get this to work is to allow Ping globally via the Attack Defense configuration which is obviously undesirable. 

 

The documentation is not much help as it does not explain the scope of the default Destinations such as "Me" and "IPGROUP_ANY".

 

Any ideas would be very welcome.

 Dear @Pieman 

 

Attack Defense configuration has the highest priority.

 

You can allow Ping on Attack Defense. Then on Access Control add two rules:

First one is to allow Ping from your specific addresses;

Second one is to block all Ping from Any IP. 

 

The Access Control will apply the rules in sequence.

Thanks Hank, that did the trick!

 

Any idea where better Firewall documentation is available? i.e. default rule order, meaning of the default IP Groups, etc.  I feel that there is more that can be done but without decent docs I'm stabbing in the dark with some features e.g. OpenVPN.

I tried to do similar thing, trying to the router.  But apparently it doesn't restrict the ping from a specific IP address.

 

I don't block ping in Attack Defense.  Then In access control, I set up rule 9:  ping allowed not just from Remote_office but anywhere. 

 

Even adding rule 10 doesn't change the same behvior.

 

 

  ID Name Source Destination Source Network Destination Network Policy Service Type Direction Effective Time Operation
  9 Office_Ping Remote_Office Me --- --- Allow ICMP_ALL [WAN] IN,[WAN/LAN1] IN Any  
  10 Block_Ping IPGROUP_ANY Me --- --- Block ICMP_ALL [WAN] IN,[WAN/LAN1] IN Any
