Intrusion Detection

•

SPI and Anti-DoS (Denial-of-Service) firewall protection (Default:
Enable) – The Intrusion Detection Feature limits access for
incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI (Stateful Packet
Inspection) feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be
blocked except for those types marked with a check in the
Stateful Packet Inspection section.

•

Discard Ping from WAN (Default: Enable) – Prevents the router
from responding to any PING request on the WAN port.

•

E-mail Alert Configuration – Enter your email address. Specify
your SMTP and POP3 servers, user name, and password.
