 +===== LAN Access Notes ===== 
 + 
 +Regardless of LAN Access rules, by default a LANx device is able to reach (e.g. ping) all the router's LAN interfaces (only). This is by design. 
 + 
 +All entries in the LAN Access table are one-way only. So, if you want hosts on LAN0 to be able to communicate with hosts on LAN1, 
 +you must create have entries in the table to achieve that. One allowing traffic from LAN0 to LAN1 and another allowing traffic from LAN1 to LAN0.  
 +  
 +LAN Access is an IP-level access control. This means that **all ports/protocols are automatically enabled**. If additional fine tuning is required (for example, you wanted to allow only allow port 80/TCP) you will need to manually configure settings instead.
