The built-in firewall of the cable data gateway supports multiple features, all of which are
enabled by default. You can disable some or all of these firewall features. As an option, you
can also enable web features, which are disabled by default. The Application Level Gateway
(ALG) is enabled by default to optimize Network Address Translation (NAT). You can disable

Feature
Description
Firewall Features
These features are enabled by default. To disable a feature, clear the associated
Enable
check box.
Firewall Features
If firewall features are enabled, the cable data gateway performs stateful
packet inspection (SPI) and protects against denial of service (DoS)
attacks. If firewall features are disabled, the cable data gateway does not
perform SPI and does not provide DoS protection.
Note:
Best practise is to keep firewall features enabled.

Ipsec PassThrough
If IPSec pass-through is enabled, IPSec traffic is forwarded. If it is disabled,
IPSec traffic is blocked.
PPTP PassThrough
If PPTP pass-through is enabled, PPTP traffic is forwarded. If it is disabled,
PPTP traffic is blocked.
Multicast
If multicast is enabled, the cable data gateway passes multicasting streams
through the firewall. If it is disabled, multicast streams are blocked.
Port Scan Detection

Internet-based port scans. If it is disabled, the cable data gateway blocks
port scans.
Note:
Best practise is to keep port scan detection enabled.
IP Flood Detection
If IP flood detection is enabled, the cable data gateway blocks devices
(usually malicious devices) that are attempting to flood devices. If it is
disabled, flooding is not blocked.
Note:
Best practise is to keep IP flood detection enabled.
Web Features
These features are disabled by default. To enable a feature, select the associated
Enable
check box.
Filter Proxy

connect to the web only directly. That is, you cannot connect to the web
through a proxy server. If the proxy filter is disabled, you can connect to the
web through a proxy server.
Filter Cookies
If the cookie filter is enabled, websites cannot deposit cookies. If it is
disabled, websites can deposit cookies.
Filter Java Applets
If the Java applets filter is enabled, websites cannot use Java applets. If it is
disabled, websites can use Java applets.
Filter ActiveX
If the ActiveX filter is enabled, websites cannot use ActiveX. If it is disabled,
websites can use ActiveX.
Filter Popup Windows
If the pop-up filter is enabled, websites cannot use pop-up screens. If it is
disabled, websites can use pop-up screens.
Block Fragmented IP
Packets
If the fragmented IP packet filter is enabled, you can download only
complete (unfragmented) IP packets. If it is disabled, you can download
fragmented IP packets.
