I'm new to the world of Firewalls & I've looked at a couple of firewalls. I am trying to sense a pattern in the way the rules are structured. For instance with Port Forwarding the patterns no matter what manufacture are TCP/UDP Port numbers and what LAN IP those ports get opened to. Are Firewall rules & policies structured the same way? I'm looking for a general pattern from manufacture to manufacture? Can anyone shed light on this?
Also, with Port Forwarding you can tell if you set it up right if the application works consistently. How do you test whether you set up the rules and policies on a firewall properly?
