3. Making Configuration 3.3.3 Security Settings 3.3.3.
3. Making Configuration Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter applies on all outbound packets. However, Inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies: ¾ Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules ¾ Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound.
3. Making Configuration ¾ Example 1: (1.2.3.100-1.2.3.149) Remote hosts are allow to send mail (port 25), and browse the Internet (port 80) (1.2.3.10-1.2.3.20) Remote hosts can do everything (block nothing) Others are all blocked.
3. Making Configuration ¾ Example 2: (1.2.3.100-1.2.3.119) Remote hosts can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP (port 21) behind Router Server. Others are all allowed. After Inbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button. z Outbound Filter: To enable Outbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Outbound Packet Filter field.
3. Making Configuration ¾ Example 1: Router LAN IP is 192.168.12.254 (192.168.12.100-192.168.12.149) Located hosts are only allowed to send mail (port 25), receive mail (port 110), and browse Internet (port 80); port 53 (DNS) is necessary to resolve the domain name. (192.168.12.10-192.168.12.20) Located hosts can do everything (block nothing) Others are all blocked.
3. Making Configuration ¾ Example 2: Router LAN IP is 192.168.12.254 (192.168.12.100 and 192.168.12.119) Located Hosts can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP (port 21) Others are allowed After Outbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.3.2 Domain filters z Domain Filter Let you prevent users under this device from accessing specific URLs. z Domain Filter Enable Check if you want to enable Domain Filter. z Log DNS Query Check if you want to log the action when someone accesses the specific URLs. z Privilege IP Addresses Range Setting a group of hosts and privilege these hosts to access network without restriction. z Domain Suffix A suffix of URL to be restricted. For example, ".com", "xxx.com".
3. Making Configuration z Enable Check to enable each rule. ¾ Example: In this example: URL include “www.msn.com” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file. URL include “www.sina.com” will not be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file. URL include “www.baidu.com” will be blocked, but the action will not be record in log-file. IP address x.x.x.1~x.x.x.99 can access Internet without restriction.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.3.3 URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect to pre-defined Websites. The major difference between “Domain filter” and “URL Blocking” is Domain filter require user to input suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking require user to input a keyword only. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword. z URL Blocking Enable Checked if you want to enable URL Blocking.
3. Making Configuration z Enable Checked to enable each rule. In this example: URL include “msn” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.3.4 MAC control MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for different users and to assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address. z MAC Address Control Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”. All of the settings in this page will take effect only when “Enable” is checked. z Connection control Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of which wired and wireless clients can connect to this device.
3. Making Configuration z Control table "Control table" is the table at the bottom of the "MAC Address Control" page. Each row of this table indicates the MAC address and the expected IP address mapping of a client. There are four columns in this table: MAC Address MAC address indicates a specific client. IP Address Expected IP address of the corresponding client. Keep it empty if you don't care its IP address.
3. Making Configuration ¾ Example: In this scenario, there are three clients listed in the Control Table. Clients 1 and 2 are wireless, and client 3 is wired. The "MAC Address Control" function is enabled. "Connection control" is enabled, and all of the wired and wireless clients not listed in the "Control table" are "allowed" to connect to this device.
3. Making Configuration Clients 1 and 2 are allowed to associate to the wireless LAN, but a wireless client with a MAC address not specified in the Control table is denied to associate to the wireless LAN. Client 3 is a wired client and so is not affected by Association control. 3.3.3.5 Miscellaneous Items z Remote Administrator Host/Port In general, only Intranet user can browse the built-in web pages to perform administration task.
3. Making Configuration z DoS Attack Detection When this feature is enabled, the router will detect and log the DoS attack comes from the Internet. Currently, the router can detect the following DoS attack: SYN Attack, WinNuke, Port Scan, Ping of Death, Land Attack etc. z VPN PPTP and IPSec Pass-Through Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is typically used for work-related networking. For VPN tunnels, the router supports IPSec Passthrough and PPTP Passthrough. 3.3.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.4.1 System Time z Get Date and Time by NTP Protocol Selected if you want to Get Date and Time by NTP Protocol. z Time Server Select a NTP time server to consult UTC time z Time Zone Select a time zone where this device locates. z Set Date and Time manually Selected if you want to Set Date and Time manually. z Set Date and Time manually Selected if you want to Set Date and Time manually.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.4.2 System Log This page support two methods to export system logs to specific destination by means of syslog(UDP) and SMTP(TCP). The items you have to setup including: z IP Address for Syslog Host IP of destination where syslogs will be sent to. Check Enable to enable this function. z E-mail Alert Enable Check if you want to enable Email alert (send syslog via email). z SMTP Server IP and Port Input the SMTP server IP and port, which are concreted with ':'.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.4.3 Dynamic DNS To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS). So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name of your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect your Internet service provider. Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS servers that we list in provider field.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.4.4 SNMP In brief, SNMP, the Simple Network Management Protocol, is a protocol designed to give a user the capability to remotely manage a computer network by polling and setting terminal values and monitoring network events. z Enable SNMP You must check Local, Remote or both to enable SNMP function. If Local is checked, this device will response request from LAN. If Remote is checked, this device will response request from WAN.
3. Making Configuration z WAN Access IP Address If the user wants to limit to specific the IP address to access, please input in the item. The default 0.0.0.0 and means every IP of Internet can get some information of device with SNMP protocol. Click on “Save” to store your setting or “Undo” to give up. 3.3.4.5 Routing Routing Tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams.
3. Making Configuration z Static Routing: For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules. You can enter the destination IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and hop for each routing rule, and then enable or disable the rule by checking or unchecking the Enable checkbox. ¾ Example: Configuration on NAT Router Destination SubnetMask 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 Gateway Hop Enabled 192.168.123.216 1 ˇ 192.168.123.
3. Making Configuration 3.3.4.6 Schedule Rule You can set the schedule time to decide which service will be turned on or off. Select the “enable” item. Press “Add New Rule” You can write a rule name and set which day and what time to schedule from “Start Time” to “End Time”.
3. Making Configuration z Schedule Enable Selected if you want to Enable the Scheduler. z Edit To edit the schedule rule. z Delete To delete the schedule rule and the rule #of the rules behind the deleted one will decrease one automatically.
