How Do I Configure the Wireless Home Gateway?
IP Flood Detection
Blocks malicious devices that are attempting to flood
devices or networks with illegal broadcast packets.
Also referred to as “broadcast storm.”
Firewall Protection
Enables/disables the firewall. When the firewall is
enabled, the firewall will allow most commonly used
applications to automatically open IP ports and pass
data without any special setup or manual port
configuration.
Configuring Firewall Event Logging and E-mail Alerts
Use the Setup Firewall - Event Logging page to access the firewall event log and
allows you to enter your e-mail address in order for you to receive e-mail alerts
related to firewall attacks by hackers.
Note:
If you are not familiar with the settings detailed in this section, contact your
cable service provider before you attempt to change any of the wireless home
gateway default firewall event logging settings.
Click
Event Logging
in the Firewall section of the Setup page to access the Setup
Firewall - Event Logging page.
