+**Description:** a free text field in which you can enter whatever you wish, such as notes, reminders.
-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.
