13.4 Services Screen

Click Security > Firewall > Services. The screen appears as shown next.
If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your X550N, an ICMP response
packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the X550N exists. Use
this screen to prevent the ICMP response packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders from
discovering your X550N when unsupported ports are probed.
You can also use this screen to enable service blocking, enter/delete/modify the services you
want to block and the date/time you want to block them.

DESCRIPTION
Internet Control Message Protocol is a message control and error-reporting
protocol between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet
Protocol (IP) datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software
and directly apparent to the application user.
The X550N will not respond to any incoming Ping requests when Disable is
selected. Select LAN to reply to incoming LAN Ping requests. Select WAN to reply
to incoming WAN Ping requests. Otherwise select LAN & WAN to reply to all
incoming LAN and WAN Ping requests.
