Firewall
12.1
Overview
Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your NBG4604
and your LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic.
Enable the firewall to protect your LAN computers from attacks by hackers on the
Internet and control access between the LAN and WAN. By default the firewall:
allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all of the
networks.
blocks traffic that originates on the other networks from going to the LAN.
The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User
A
can initiate an IM
(Instant Messaging) session from the LAN to the WAN (
1
). Return traffic for this
session is also allowed (
2
). However other traffic initiated from the WAN is blocked
(
3
and
4
).

12.3.1
About the NBG4604 Firewall
The NBG4604 firewall is a stateful inspection firewall and is designed to protect
against Denial of Service attacks when activated (click
the
General
tab under
Firewall
and then click the
Enable
Firewall
check box). The NBG4604's purpose
is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the
Internet. The NBG4604 can be used to prevent theft, destruction and modification
of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your
network.
The NBG4604 is installed between the LAN and a broadband modem connecting to
the Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between
the Internet and the LAN.
The NBG4604 has one Ethernet WAN port and four Ethernet LAN ports, which are
used to physically separate the network into two areas.The WAN (Wide Area
Network) port attaches to the broadband (cable or DSL) modem to the Internet.
The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which
needs security from the outside world. These computers will have access to
Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and the World Wide Web. However, "inbound
access" is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is authorized to use a
specific service.
