How long can the Rule Name be for a firewall access rule?
And, are there any characters that are not allowed in the rule name?
Also, when specifying a domain name in a firewall rule, is it case sensitive? Thanks.
At least 260 characters are supported in a rule name - I’ve used that many before as I frequently use a verbose rule name like this for a rule:
[SMTP TCP] - For Inbound Customer Email traffic - source restricted to upstream mail server at mailgun.com, Created by Bob Smith on 1st Jan 2016 [email protected]
I haven’t found any unacceptable characters yet certainly all of the normal ones (! @ # & ( ) – { } ] : ; ', ? / *) are accepted.
Domain names in rules should not be case sensitive - as neither are domains in the real world, although I have always used lowercase in the past as a matter of habit
I have a network with 1 ballanced 710 hub and 15 Max HD2
All the HD2 have unique addresses, and have the PEP VPN into the 710 balanced router
How do I set up the firewall on this network to prevent Max HD2 NO1 to be able to go into the local Lan on Max Hd2 NO 2 network

You can accomplish this using internal firewall rules on the HD2s. Change the default rule to deny adding an allow rule for the 710 hub LAN.
You may limit the route advertising in HD4 via Network > OSPF & RIPv2 > Route Advertisement > Network Advertising.
