Note:

z

RIP version 1 is the original RIP protocol. Select RIP1 if you have devices that

communicate with this interface that understand RIP version 1 only.

z

RIP version 2 is the preferred selection because it supports "classless" IP

addresses (which are used to create subnets) and other features. Select RIP2 if

all other routing devices on your LAN support this version of the protocol.

Firewall Configuration

4.12.1

Configuration of Global Firewall

The Firewall enables you to protect the system against denial of

service (DoS) attacks and other types of malicious accesses to your

LAN. You can also specify how to monitor attempted attacks, and

who should be automatically notified.

Parameter explanation

Follow these instructions to configure global firewall settings.

Configure any of the following settings that display in the

Firewall Global Configuration

table:

z

Blacklist Status:

If you want the device to maintain and

use a black list, click

Enable

. Click

Disable

if you do not

want to maintain a list.

z

Blacklist Period(min):

Specifying the number of minutes

that a computer's IP address will remain on the black list

(i.e., all traffic originating from that computer will be

blocked from passing through any interface on the MT800).

For more information, see Managing the Black List below.

z

Attack Protection

: Click the

Enable

radio button to use

the built-in firewall protections that prevent the following

common types of attacks:

z

IP Spoofing

: Sending packets over the WAN

interface using an internal LAN IP address as the

source address.

z

Tear Drop

: Sending packets that contain overlapping

fragments.

z

Smurf and Fraggle

: Sending packets that use the

WAN or LAN IP broadcast address as the source

address.

z

Land Attack

: Sending packets that use the same

address as the source and destination address.

z

Ping of Death

: Illegal IP packet length.

z

DoS Protection

: Click the

Enable

radio button to use the

following denial of service protections: SYN DoS, ICMP

DoS, Per-host DoS protection.

z

Max Half open TCP Connection

: Set the percentage of

concurrent IP sessions that can be in the half-open state.

In ordinary TCP communication, packets are in the

half-open state only briefly as a connection is being

initiated; the state changes to active when packets are

being exchanged, or closed when the exchange is

complete. TCP connections in the half-open state can use

up the available IP sessions. If the percentage is exceeded,

then the half-open sessions will be closed and replaced

with new sessions as they are initiated.

z

Max ICMP Connection

: Set the percentage of concurrent

IP sessions that can be used for ICMP messages. If the

percentage is exceeded, then older ICMP IP sessions will

be replaced by new sessions as they are initiated.

z

Max Single Host Connection

: Set the percentage of

concurrent IP session that can originate from a single

computer. This percentage should take into account the

number of hosts on the LAN.

Managing the Blacklist

If data packets are received that violate the firewall settings or

any of the IP Filter rules, then the source IP address of the offending

packets can be blocked from such accesses for a specified period of

time. The source computer remains on the black list for the period of

Page 60 / 109

time that you specify. You can enable or disable use of the black list

using the settings described above.

To view the list of currently blacklisted computers, click the

Black List

button at the bottom of the Firewall Configuration page.

The table displays the following information for each entry.

z

Host IP Address

: The IP address of the computer that

sent the packet(s) that caused the violation.

z

Reason

: A short description of the type of violation. If the

packet violated an IP Filter rule, the custom text from the

Log Tag field will display.

z

IPF Rule ID

: If the packet violated an IP Filter rule, this field

will display the ID assigned to the rule.

IP Filter Configuration

The IP filter feature enables you to create rules that control the

forwarding of incoming and outgoing data between your LAN and the

Internet and within your LAN.

IP Filter Global Settings

The IP Filter Configuration page displays global settings that

you can modify. And the IP Filter rule table shows all currently

established rules.

Click the
