While the broadband users demand more bandwidth for multimedia, interactive applications,
or distance learning, security has been always the most concerned. The firewall of the Vigor
router helps to protect your local network against attack from unauthorized outsiders. It also
restricts users in the local network from accessing the Internet. Furthermore, it can filter out
specific packets that trigger the router to build an unwanted outgoing connection.
The most basic security concept is to set user name and password while you install your router.
The administrator login will prevent unauthorized access to the router configuration from your
router.
If you did not set password during installation; you can go to System Maintenance to set up
your password.

Depending on whether there is an existing Internet connection, or in other words "the WAN
link status is up or down", the IP filter architecture categorizes traffic into two: Call Filter and
Data Filter.
Call Filter - When there is no existing Internet connection, Call Filter is applied to all
traffic, all of which should be outgoing. It will check packets according to the filter rules.
