Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Broadband Router to
act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users
access various services at your site using a constant IP address.
Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the
Broadband Router can route the request to the appropriate server (at
another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct
attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by
allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting
outside access to your network.
•
DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This
function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet
application from functioning correctly.
•
Security
The Broadband Router supports security features that deny Internet
access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that
the administrator does not want to serve. The Broadband Router’s
firewall also blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing,
Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP
port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding.
WPA/WPA2, IEEE802.1x, WEP, SSID, and MAC filtering provide
security over the wireless network.
