Restricting share to local network

ReadyNAS 2304. (That model isn't available in the dropdown above!)

How do I restrict my shares to access by the local network? I can see "filter by host". Can I use a /24 there? Ideally I want to limit it to my IPv4 local LAN and also IPv6 link local addresses. I don't know if I need to add the IPv6 assigned global prefix in case Windows clients try to access over SMB using their global address. (I'm sharing by both SMB and by rsync for backup.)

Essentially I want to add another layer of firewall in addition to my border firewall.
