Sect±on 3 - Configurat±on
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic
packet filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking
more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing
through the session conforms to the protocol.
Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Endpoint.Independent.
- Any incoming traffic sent to an
open port will be forwarded to the application that opened
the port. The port will close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address.Restricted
- Incoming traffic must match the IP
address of the outgoing connection.
Address.+.Port.Restriction
- Incoming traffic must match
the IP address and port of the outgoing connection.
Enable this option to provide protection from certain kinds
of “spoofing” attacks.
If an application has trouble working from behind the router,
you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the
application on that computer.
Note:
Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that
computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is
only recommended as a last resort.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that
you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains it’s IP address automatically using DHCP,
be sure to make a static reservation on the
System.>.Network.Settings
page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine
does not change.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The Fry’s FR-300RTR offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature helps
prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of applications. If you choose
to expose a computer, you can enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option will expose the chosen computer completely
to the outside world.
