Explanation

The numbered rules shown are Access Control List (ACL) entries - the syntax used in firewall rule sets. Rule 1 permits any IP traffic destined for port 80 (HTTP), and Rule 2 denies all other IP traffic (implicit deny). This permit/deny rule structure is the defining characteristic of a Firewall (A). A NIPS detects and blocks intrusion patterns, not simple port-based rules. A load balancer distributes traffic across servers. A URL filter blocks specific URLs/domains, not port-level traffic.
