IPFW IP and Ports

[akshin]

Hi
I want to open access by IP address AND port 4567.
If I have a rule specified in the file fwrules.conf

$cmd add 507 allow all from 10.0.0.44 to me

whether there is a need to additionally specify port 4567?

$cmd add 906 allow tcp from 10.0.0.44 to me 4567

for example

$cmd add 507 allow all from 10.0.0.44 to me
$cmd add 906 allow all from 10.0.0.44 to me 4567

Do I need to write two lines at a time or it is enough to write only the first line?

$cmd add 507 allow all from 10.0.0.44 to me

Rule allows connections from 10.0.0.44 to ALL ports on the host, both TCP and UDP (ICMP is allowed too).

$cmd add 906 allow tcp from 10.0.0.44 to me 4567

Rule only allows access from 10.0.0.44 to a specific TCP port on the host.

$cmd add 906 allow all from 10.0.0.44 to me 4567

Rule only allows access from 10.0.0.44 to a specific port (both UDP and TCP) on the host.
