Firewall
•
SPI Firewall Protection. Enable this feature to employ Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) for more detailed
review of data packets entering your network environment.
•
Block Anonymous Internet Requests. When enabled, this feature keeps your network from being “pinged,” or
detected, by other Internet users. It also reinforces your network security by hiding your network ports. Both
functions of this feature make it more difficult for outside users to work their way into your network. This
feature is enabled by default. Select
Disabled
to allow anonymous Internet requests.
•
Filter Multicast. Multicasting allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time. If
multicasting is permitted, then the Router will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the appropriate
computers. Select Enable to filter multicasting, or Disable to disable this feature.
•
Filter Internet NAT Redirection. This feature uses port forwarding to block access to local servers from local
networked computers. Check the box to enable filter Internet NAT redirection, or uncheck the box to disable
this feature.
•
Web Filters
