Appendix A - Firewall STATEFUL PACKET INSPECTION Refers to an architecture, where the firewall keeps track of packets on each connection traversing all its interfaces and makes sure they are valid. This is in contrast to static packet filtering which only examines a packet based on the information in the packet header. DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK Is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a resource they would normally expect to have.
Example 1: Filter Name Protocol Policy Source IP Address Source Subnet Mask Source Port Dest. IP Address Dest. Subnet Mask Dest. Port Selected WAN interface : : : : : : : : : : In_Filter1 TCP Allow 210.168.219.45 255.255.0.0 80 NA NA NA br0 This filter will ACCEPT all TCP packets coming from WAN interface “br0” with IP Address/Subnet Mask 210.168.219.45/16 with a source port of 80, irrespective of the destination. All other incoming packets on this interface are DROPPED.
DAYTIME PARENTAL CONTROL This feature restricts access of a selected LAN device to an outside Network through the VR-3033, as per chosen days of the week and the chosen times. Example: User Name : Browser's MAC Address : Days of the Week : Start Blocking Time : End Blocking Time : FilterJohn 00:25:46:78:63:21 Mon, Wed, Fri 14:00 18:00 With this rule, a LAN device with MAC Address of 00:25:46:78:63:21 will have no access to the WAN on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 2pm to 6pm.
