User Manual

Metric:

This sets the priority of the routes compared to other static routed defined. The

lower the number, the higher priority the route.

Click on “Add” when all necessary information has been entered. The route will be shown on
the bottom of the screen (under Static Routing Table). Additional routes can be added
provided they have a unique Route no, name and metric. Routes can be deleted by clicking
the Delete Entry option of the desired entry.

Note:

Routing table (found under “Routing Table” tab) shows all routes, while Static Table

(found under “Static Routing” tab) shows manually entered routes only.

5.6.2

IP Filtering

IP Filtering provides certain Internet firewall protection. The user can enter up to 20 IP filters. Each
IP filter is identified by a unique number (from 1 to 20). When IP filtering is enabled, any custom IP
filter entered by the user as well as predefined IP filters will be taken into account when processing
IP packets. See Figure 20.

An IP packet passes through the filtering logic when IP filtering is enabled:

   1) An IP packet is received on one of the interface and is destined to the Sentry 4G unit
   OR
   2) An IP packet is sent by the Sentry 4G unit
   OR
   3) An IP packet is forwarded by the Sentry 4G unit.

5.6.2.1

Predefined IP Filters

Drop Remote Pings:

If IP filtering is enabled, any ICMP echo request coming from the WAN

interface will not be replied to. This prevents remote hosts from detecting your IP address on the
WAN.

Drop Remote IP Fragments:

If IP filtering is enabled, any fragmented IP packets coming from the

WAN interface will be dropped.

Drop Invalid Packets:

If IP filtering is enabled, any

invalid

packet received by the unit will be

silently dropped. An invalid IP packet is one that cannot be identified.

5.6.2.2

Add Custom IP Filters

Fill in the parameters described below and click “Add…”. Your entry should appear in the

Custom

IP Filters

table on the bottom of the page.

Note: Criteria are for inclusion by default. Select “exclude” if your criterion is for exclusion.

Filter Number:

Each IP filter is identified by a unique number from 1 to 20
