R = RIP (Routing Information Protocol) assigned route.
I = ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Redirect route.
Network Destination IP address. Address
Netmask
The subnetwork associated with the destination.
This is a template that identifies the address bits in the destination address used for
routing to specific subnets. Each bit that corresponds to a “1” is part of the subnet
mask number; each bit that corresponds to “0” is part of the host number.
Gateway The IP address of the router at the next hop to which frames are forwarded.
Interface The local interface through which the next hop of this route is reached.
Metric
When a router receives a routing update that contains a new or changed destination
network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric value indicated in the update and enters
the network in the routing table.
Firewall
The Belgacom b-box’s firewall enables access control of client PCs, blocks common hacker
attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack,
UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not
significantly affect system performance and we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network.
Note:
After you check the radio button in the “Enable or disable Firewall features” field, you must
click the “SAVE SETTINGS” button to display the list of firewall features.
