When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new route. RIP routers maintain only the best route to a destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting routing updates to inform other network routers of the change.
  • Page 99 OUTING Parameter Description General RIP Parameters RIP mode Globally enables or disables RIP. Auto summary If Auto summary is disabled, then RIP packets will include sub-network information from all sub- networks connected to the router. If enabled, this sub-network information will be summarized to one piece of information covering all sub- networks.

    IREWALL Firewall The Barricade Router’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer, maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types of network attacks. Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks.

    ONFIGURING THE ARRICADE Intrusion Detection • Intrusion Detection Feature Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled) — The Intrusion Detection Feature of the Barricade Router limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types marked in the Stateful Packet Inspection section.

  • Page 109: Stateful Packet Inspection

    IREWALL • Stateful Packet Inspection This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with 4-57...

In addition to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until connection to the specific port is requested. When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed.
  • Page 111 IREWALL • Connection Policy Enter the appropriate values for TCP/UDP sessions as described in the following table. Parameter Defaults Description Fragmentation 10 sec Configures the number of seconds that a packet half-open wait state structure remains active. When the timeout value expires, the router drops the unassembled packet, freeing that structure for use by another packet.

    IREWALL If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two- way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
