Chapter 10 Firewalls
NN47922-500
Consider the FTP protocol. A user on the LAN opens a control connection to a
server on the Internet and requests a file. At this point, the remote server opens a
data connection from the Internet. For FTP to work properly, this connection must
be allowed to pass through even though a connection from the Internet is normally
rejected.
In order to achieve the above scenario, the Business Secure Router inspects the
application level FTP data. Specifically, it searches for outgoing PORT
commands, and when it sees these; it adds a cache entry for the anticipated data
connection. This can be done safely, since the PORT command contains address
and port information, which can be used to uniquely identify the connection.
Any protocol that operates in this way must be supported on a case-by-case basis.
You can use the WebGUI’s Custom Ports feature to do this.
Guidelines for enhancing security with your firewall
1
Change the default password via SMT or WebGUI.
2
Think about access control before you connect your device to the network in
any way. Access to the console port can give unauthorized individuals total
control of the firewall, even with access control configured.
3
Limit who can Telnet into your router.
4
Do not enable any local service (such as SNMP or NTP) that you do not use.
Any enabled service can present a potential security risk. A determined
hacker can find creative ways to misuse the enabled services to access the
firewall or the network.
5
For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by
configuring the services to communicate only with specific peers, and protect
by configuring rules to block packets for the services at specific interfaces.
6
Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active.
7
Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room.
