  • Page 66: Firewall And Access Control

    Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for Internet access controlling from your LAN. This feature also protects your system from being attacked by hackers. When using NAT, the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will have their own private IP addresses which is not directly accessible from the Internet.

  • Page 67: General Settings

    General Settings You can choose to disable Firewall and still be able to access the URL Filter and IM/P2P Blocking or enable the Firewall using the preset filter rules and modify the port filter rules as required. The Packet Filter is used to filter packets based on Applications (Port) or IP addresses. There are four policy options to choose from: All blocked/User-defined: no predefined port or address filter rules by default, meaning that all inbound (Internet to LAN) and outbound (LAN to Internet) packets will be blocked.

  • Page 68: Packet Filter

    Packet Filter This function is only available when Firewall is enabled with one of the four security levels selected (All blocked, High, Medium and Low). The preset port filter rules in the Packet Filter must be modified accordingly to the level of security selected. See Table1: Predefined Port Filter for more detail information.
  • Page 69 Example: Predefined Port Filters Rules The predefined port filter rules for High, Medium and Low security levels are listed. See Table 1. Note: Firewall – All Blocked/User-defined, you must define and create the port filter rules yourself. No predefined rule is being preconfigured.

    Intrusion Detection The router Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker’s attack and intrusion attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks, intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.

  • Page 77: Url Filter

    URL Filter URL (Uniform Resource Locator) (e.g. an address in the form of http://www.abcde.com or http:// www.example.com) filter rule allows you to prevent users on your network from accessing specific websites defined by their URL. There are no predefined URL filter rules, therefore you can add filter rules to meet your requirements.
  • Page 78 For example, if the URL is http://www.abc.com/abcde.html, the connection will be dropped if the keyword “abcde” occurs in the URL. Domains Filtering: This function checks the whole URL address but not the IP address against your list of domains to block or allow. If it is matched, the URL request will either be sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden).
  • Page 79 Example: Andy wishes to disable all WEB traffic except for the ones listed in the trusted domain, which would prevent Bobby from accessing other websites. Andy selects both conditions in the Domain Filtering thinking that this will stop Bobby. But Bobby knows this function, Domain Filtering, ONLY disables all WEB traffic except for Trusted Domain, BUT not its IP address.

  • Page 80: Im / P2P Blocking

    Both Instant Message and Peer-to-peer applications make communication faster and easier but your network can become increasingly insecure at the same time. Billion’s IM and P2P blocking helps users to restrict LAN PCs to access the commonly used IM, Yahoo and MSN, and P2P, BitTorrent and eDonkey, applications over the Internet.

  • Page 91: Virtual Server (Known As Port Forwarding)

    Virtual Server (known as Port Forwarding) In TCP/IP and UDP networks, a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server) incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”.

  • Page 92: Add Virtual Server

    Add Virtual Server Because NAT can act as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from being accessed by outside users when using NAT, as all incoming connection attempts will point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network.
  • Page 93 Example: If you like to remotely access your Router through the Web/HTTP all the time, you will need to enable port number 80 (Web/HTTP) and map to the Router’s IP Address. Then all incoming HTTP requests from you (Remote side) will be forwarded to the Router with an IP address of 192.168.1.254.

  • Page 94: Edit Dmz Host

    Edit DMZ Host DMZ Host is a local computer that is exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets especially those that do not use the port number that is being used by any other Virtual Server entries will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms before being passed to the DMZ host.

  • Page 102: Advanced

    Advanced Configuration options within the Advanced section are for users who wish to take advantage of the more advanced features of the router. Users who do not understand the features should not attempt to reconfigure their router, unless advised to do so by support staff. These are the items within the Advanced section: Static Route, Static ARP, Dynamic DNS, Check Email, Device Management and IGMP.

  • Page 103: Static Arp

    Static ARP IP Address: Fill in the IP address of the host computer that is sending the data packet. MAC Address: Fill in the MAC address of the computer that the incoming data packets are to be forwarded.

  • Page 104: Dynamic Dns

    Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time.

  • Page 105: Check Email

    Check Email This function allows you to have the router check your POP3 mailbox for new Email messages. The Mail LED on your router will light when it detects new messages waiting for download. You may also view the status of this function using the Status – Email Checking section of the web interface, which also provides details on the number of new messages waiting.

The default value is the standard HTTP port 80. Users may specify an alternative if, for example, they are running a web server on a PC within their LAN. Management IP Address: You may specify an IP address for logon and access the router web server.
  • Page 108 SNMP Version: SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 SNMPv2c is the combination of the enhanced protocol features of SNMPv2 without the SNMPv2 security. The “c” comes from the fact that SNMPv2c uses the SNMPv1 community string paradigm for “security”, but is widely accepted as the SNMPv2 standard. SNMPv3 is a strong authentication mechanism, authorization with fine granularity for remote monitoring.

  • Page 109: Igmp

    IGMP IGMP, known as Internet Group Management Protocol, is used to manage hosts from multicast group. IGMP Forwarding: Accepting multicast packet. Default is set to Enable.
