-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,
+All entries in LAN Access are one-way only. \\
-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.
+For example, if you want hosts on LAN0 to be able to communicate with hosts on LAN1,
+and hosts on LAN1 to be able to communicate with hosts on LAN0, you will need to have two entries in the table to achieve that.
