Services Screen - ZyXEL Communications NBG-419N v2 User Manual

20.5 Services Screen

If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your Router, an ICMP response packet
is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the Router exists. Use this screen to
prevent the ICMP response packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering your
Router when unsupported ports are probed.
You can also use this screen to enable service blocking, enter/delete/modify the services you want
to block and the date/time you want to block them.
Click Security > Firewall > Services. The screen appears as shown next.

DESCRIPTION
Internet Control Message Protocol is a message control and error-reporting protocol
between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP)
datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software and directly apparent
to the application user.
The Router will not respond to any incoming Ping requests when Disable is selected. Select
LAN to reply to incoming LAN Ping requests. Select WAN to reply to incoming WAN Ping
requests. Otherwise select LAN & WAN to reply to all incoming LAN and WAN Ping
requests.
Click Apply to save the settings.
