Network security
This chapter shows how to set up security defence for your local area network.
Setting up access right to WL-600g
To protect your wired and wireless LAN, we recommend setting up access protection
so as to prevent WL-600g from being viewed or modified by unauthenticated users.
Service restriction
WL-600g provides a Service Control List (SCL) that can enable or disable services
which are used to access the router configuration interface. You can choose allowing
HTTP, ICMP from WAN, or allowing HTTP from LAN. After configuration is complete,
click Save/Apply to activate the settings.
IP address restriction
To protect the router from being accessed by unauthenticated user in your LAN, you can
restrict the access right to the hosts with certain IP addresses. Click Management ->
Access Control -> IP Addresses to setup the IP address for the authenticated network
supervisors.
Before setting up the IP address restriction, make sure addresses of
authenticated hosts are static.
