CHAPTER 8 | Firewall Configuration DoS DO S Denial of Service (DoS) is an attempt by a hacker to flood an IP address, domain, or server with repeated external communincation requests, effectively saturating the system with an information flood that renders it slow or effectively inoperable for genuine users to access it. DoS attacks are also referred to as non-intrusion attacks, the goal of which is to cripple your system but not steal data.
CHAPTER 8 | Firewall Configuration DoS ■ ■ ■ ■ Whole System Flood: FIN: Prevents a FIN (no more data from sender) flood in which part of a TCP packet from an invalid (or spoofed) IP address floods the network with connection resets. Whole System Flood: UDP: Prevents a flood of large numbers of raw UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packets targeted at the unit.
CHAPTER 8 | Firewall Configuration DoS ■ ■ ■ TCP SynWithData: Prevents the hacker sending a volume of requests for connections that cannot be completed. UDP Bomb: Also called a UDP Flood or packet storm. Prevents the hacker congesting the network by generating a flood of UDP packets between it and the unit using the UDP chargen service (a testing utility that generates a character string for every packet it receives).

(Default: DynDns.org) ◆ Hostname — Specifies the prefix to identify your presence on the DDNS server, either URL or IP address. DYNDNS SETTINGS The following parameters apply to the default DynDns setting. ◆ Username — Specifies your username for the DDNS service. ◆ Password — Specifies your password for the DDNs service.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration Routing Configuration ROUTING CONFIGURATION This page displays the information necessary to forward a packet along the best path toward its destination. Each packet contains information about its origin and destination. When a packet is received, a network device examines the packet and matches it to the routing table entry providing the best match for its destination.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration Routing Configuration ◆ Metric — Defines the number of hops between network nodes that data packets travel. The default value is 0, which means that the subnet is directly one hop away on the local LAN network. ◆ Interface — The WAN interface to which a static routing subnet is to be applied. ◆ Add Route — Adds a static route to the Static Route Table. ◆ Update — Clears the above fields. ◆ Delete Selected — Deletes the specified static route.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration RIP Configuration RIP CONFIGURATION RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location, or on remote networks connected to your network via the ADSL line. Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router, such as the ADSL Router, and one path to an ISP.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration IP QoS IP QOS The QoS setting page is used to configure Quality of Service (QoS) for Traffic Prioritization and Bandwidth Management. Quality of Service (QoS) provides users the control over which type of outgoing data traffic is given priority by the router. The throughput rate of both the upload and download data passed through the ADSL Router can be throttled. The QoS is enforced by the QoS rules in the QoS table.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration IP QoS ◆ Netmask — Source/destination IP network mask. (Format: Four integers from 0 to 255, each separated by a period) ◆ Port — The UDP/TCP/ICMP source/destination port or port range. ◆ Protocol — The network protocol. (Options: TCP, UDP, ICMP; Default: none) ◆ Physical Port — The physical port.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration IGMP Proxy Configuration ◆ IP Preced — Displays the selected IP precedence. ◆ IP ToS — Displays the selected IP Type of Service. ◆ WAN 802.1p — Displays the 802.1p value associated with the WAN port. IGMP PROXY CONFIGURATION Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than one host. Using multicasting as opposed to sending the same data to the individual hosts uses less network bandwidth.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration Bridge Configuration BRIDGE CONFIGURATION This feature allows you to set the bridge aging time and to enable Spanning Tree. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between bridges.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration IP Passthrough IP PASSTHROUGH IP Passthrough enables a host computer on the LAN to have direct access from the WAN with a real public IP address. When IP Passthrough is enabled, all IP traffic is forwarded to the host computer. This can be needed with some software applications that do not function reliably when using Network Address Translation.
CHAPTER 10 | Advanced Configuration SNMP Protocol Configuration SNMP PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol designed specifically for managing devices on a network. SNMP is typically used to configure devices for proper operation in a network environment, as well as to monitor them to evaluate performance or detect potential problems. The ADSL Router can be managed locally or remotely by SNMP.
