Description
Check the box to activate the DoS Defense Functionality.
Check the box to activate the SYN flood defense function.
Once detecting the Threshold of the TCP SYN packets from
the Internet has exceeded the defined value, the Vigor router
will start to randomly discard the subsequent TCP SYN
packets for a period defined in Timeout. The goal for this is
prevent the TCP SYN packets' attempt to exhaust the
limited-resource of Vigor router. By default, the threshold
and timeout values are set to 50 packets per second and 10
seconds, respectively.
Check the box to activate the UDP flood defense function.
Once detecting the Threshold of the UDP packets from the
Internet has exceeded the defined value, the Vigor router will
start to randomly discard the subsequent UDP packets for a
period defined in Timeout. The default setting for threshold
and timeout are 150 packets per second and 10 seconds,
respectively.
Check the box to activate the ICMP flood defense function.
Similar to the UDP flood defense function, once if the
Threshold of ICMP packets from Internet has exceeded the
defined value, the router will discard the ICMP echo requests
coming from the Internet. The default setting for threshold and
timeout are 50 packets per second and 10 seconds,
respectively.
Port Scan attacks the Vigor router by sending lots of packets
to many ports in an attempt to find ignorant services would
respond. Check the box to activate the Port Scan detection.
Whenever detecting this malicious exploration behavior, the
Vigor router will send out a warning.
