ARRICADE
4-40
FIREWALL
The Barricade’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer, maintains
TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of
active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types
of network attacks.
Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called
Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and
networks with a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal
information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have
access to network resources.
The Barricade protects against the following DoS attacks: 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.
(For details see page 4-47.)
The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise
leaving it enabled to protect your network. Select
Enable
and click the
SAVE SETTINGS
button to open the Firewall submenus.
