Configuring the Firewall
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:
•
IP Spoofing
•
Land Attack Ping of Death (PoD)
•
Denial of Service (DoS)
•
IP with zero length
•
Smurf Attack
•
TCP Null Scan
•
SYN flood
•
UDP flooding
•
Tear Drop Attack
•
ICMP defect
•
RIP defect
•
Fragment flooding
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used
to attack networks. These ports appear to be “stealth” meaning
that for all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be
hacker. You can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it
is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the
firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable
to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall
enabled.
