WAN PPPoE
WAN Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a protocol used to connect the Router to the Internet. PPPoE
enables Ethernet-networked computers to exchange information with computers on the Internet.

automatically detecting the protocol used for your Internet connection.

FIREWALL SETTINGS
The
Firewall Settings
section provide access to all your router security functions.
Click
Firewall Settings

top navigation menu to enter the settings menu.
CAUTION:
Only Advanced Users should access the firewall settings.
13.1
General Firewall Security Settings
This section explains how to configure your Router’s firewall security features. The Router’s firewall security
settings allow you to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your network by prohibiting certain types of inbound
and outbound network traffic and by allowing you to configure specific firewall rules.

. Clicking this link takes you to Verizon’s Online Help site,
where you can access additional information about your Router.

General Firewall Settings
Maximum Security
(High)
High security level only allows basic Internet functionality. Only Mail, News, Web,
FTP, VoIP/SIP and IPSEC traffic is allowed. All other traffic is prohibited.
Typical Security
(Medium)
Like High security, Medium security only allows basic Internet functionality by
default. However, Medium security allows customization of Network Address
Translation (NAT) so you can enable certain types of traffic. This is the factory
default security level.
Minimum Security
(Low)
Low security setting will allow all traffic except for known malicious attacks. With
Low security, your Router is visible to other computers on the Internet.
Block IP Fragments
This option can prevent hackers from using fragmented data packets to possibly
sabotage your network. Note: Some VPN and UDP services use IP fragments, and
this feature may need to be disabled. If you have questions about this feature, check
with Verizon technical support. It is disabled by default.
13.2
Access Control
If you select
Firewall Settings
in the top navigation menu and then select
Access Control
in the left submenu, the
following screen will appear.
Access Control is used to block specific computers within the local network (or even the whole network) from
accessing certain services on the Internet. For example, one computer can be prohibited from surfing the Internet,
another computer from transferring files using
FTP
, and the whole network from receiving incoming E-mail. Access
control defines restrictions on the types of requests that can pass from the local network out to the Internet, and thus
may block traffic flowing in both directions.
To add an Access Control rule, click the
New Entry
link or, alternatively, click the plus icon.
Adding a new entry will allow you to choose a device from the known network devices (Ex. Your computers) or
enter a MAC address of a new device.
Then you must choose the Protocol (or service) to be blocked.
