 +===== 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 LAN Access are one-way only. \\  
 +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.  
 + 
 +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.
