    5.3.4 Firewall Firewall and Access Control Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
  • Page 97 Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet. Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious attacks. MAC Filter rules: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet. URL Filter: Blocks PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.

  • Page 98: Packet Filter

    5.3.4.1 Packet Filter Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up to 6 different filter rules for different users based on their IP addresses or their network Port number.
  • Page 99 Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets. Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section. Log: Choose “log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to a packet. Add: Click this button to add a new packet filter rule and the added rule will appear at the bottom table.

    5.3.4.2 MAC Filter A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure to block specific machines from accessing your LAN.

    5.3.4.3 Intrusion Detection Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack if a user enables this function. This kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment or the entire network.

If it matches, the URL request is sent (Trusted) or dropped (Forbidden). The checking procedure is: 1. Check the domain in the URL to determine if it is in the trusted list. If yes, the connection attempt is sent to the remote web server.

  • Page 107 There are two settings to be provided in the Router: LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic flow from the local network to the outside world. e.g., you have a FTP server inside the local network and you want to have a limited traffic rate controlled by the QoS policy.

  • Page 112: Virtual Server

    5.3.6 Virtual Server In TCP 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 113 designated as “well-known ports”. The registered ports are numbered from 1024 through 49151. The remaining ports, referred to as dynamic ports, or private ports, are numbered from 49152 through 65535. Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below, for further information, please see IANA’s website at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers Well-known and Registered Ports...

  • Page 115 Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from access by outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to your router unless you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g.

  • Page 116: Dmz

    5.3.6.2 DMZ DMZ: The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets are checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms, it is then passed to the DMZ host when a packet received does not use a port number in use by any other Virtual Server entries.

    5.3.6.3 ALG Controls enable or disable various protocols over application layer. For example, SIP ALG: Enable: When SIP phone need ALG to pass through the NAT. Disable: When SIP phone included NAT-Traversal algorithm. Turn off the SIP ALG. Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network.
