13.8 Conguring Security

To change your 1500WR Wireless Router’s security settings, click ADVANCED, REMOTE MANAGE-

MENT and then the Security tab. The screen appears as shown.

If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your 1500WR Wireless Router, an ICMP

response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the 1500WR Wireless

Router exists. The 1500WR Wireless Router series support anti-probing, which prevents the ICMP

response packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering your 1500WR Wireless Router

when unsupported ports are probed.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Security

LABEL DESCRIPTION

ICMP 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.

Respond to Ping

The 1500WR Wireless 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 both

incoming LAN and WAN Ping requests.

Do not respond

to requests for

unauthorized

services

Select this option to prevent hackers from nding the 1500WR Wireless Router by

probing for unused ports. If you select this option, the 1500WR Wireless Router will

not send ICMP response packets to port request(s) for unused ports, thus leaving the

unused ports and the 1500WR Wireless Router unseen.

If the rewall blocks a packet from the WAN, the 1500WR Wireless Router sends

a TCP reset packet. Use the “sys rewall tcprst rst off’ command in the command

interpreter if you want to stop the 1500WR Wireless Router from sending TCP reset

packets.

Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the 1500WR Wireless Router.
