Construct a Safe Network Environment
In orderto better ensurethe safety ofdevice and reducepotential cyberrisks, werecommend:
Disable the port mapping function of the router to avoid direct access to the intranet devices
from external network.
The network should be partitioned and isolated according to the actual network needs. If there
are no communication requirements between two sub networks, it is suggested to use VLAN,
network GAP and other technologies to partition the network, so as to achieve the network
isolation effect.
Establish the 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to
private networks.
Enable IP/MAC address filtering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the
device.
