8 Firewall Settings

The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attack, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).

Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply

8.1 DMZ

If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.

Parameter s ADesc r i p ti on

En ab l e DMZ AEn ab l e/ di sab l e DMZ

Note:

If there is a conflict between the Virtual Server and the DMZ setting, then Virtual Server function will have priority over the DMZ function.

Public IP Address The IP address of the WAN port or any other Public IP addresses given to you by your ISP

Client PC IP Address Input the IP address of a particular host in your LAN that will receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above

Note:

You need to give your LAN PC clients a fixed/static IP address for DMZ to work properly.

You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place)

8.2 Do S At t ac k

The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including Denial of Service, Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks occur the router can log th e ev en ts.

Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway's IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing "Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).

Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected.

IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.0.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host identifier.

The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be 0 or 1.

A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading

1's followed by consecutive trailing 0's, such as

1111111.1111111.1111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as "x" number of leading 1's.

For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,

1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 .1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 .1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 .0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 , and if its network mask is, 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 .1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 .1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 .0 0 0 0 0 0 0

It means the device's network address is A

1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 .1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 .1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 .0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 , and i ts h ost ID i s, 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for r ou ter s to r ou te IP p ac k ets to their desti n ati on .

ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet outer located at the ISP's office. A

ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for i ndi vi du al s and oth er b u si n esses or or g an i z ati ons. A

LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are of ten u sed as the e p r odu c t's ser i al n u m ber .

NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband router's NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP. A

Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port numbers:

Application	on	PortoNumber
Tel net	TCP	23
FTP ATCP A21
SMTP ATCP A25
POP3 ATCP A1 1 0
H.323	TCP A1 720
SNMP	UCP	1 61
SNMP Tr ap	UDP	1 62
HTTP	TCP A80
PPTP	TCP A1 723
PC Any where	TCP A5631
PC Any where	UDP	5632

PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting information over Ethernet between different manufacturers

Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or misu n der stan ding .

Router: A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between different networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.

Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run

WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.

Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor the device b ein g man ag ed.
