Configuring the Wireless Barricade 56 • SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection (Default: Enabled) –The Wireless Barricade Intrusion Detection Feature limits access for incoming traffic at the WAN port. When the SPI feature is turned on, all incoming packets will be blocked except for those types marked with a check in the Stateful Packet Inspection section. • RIP Defect (Default: Enabled) – If an RIP request packet is not replied to by the router, it will stay in the input queue and not be released.
Advanced Setup • Stateful Packet Inspection – This is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade • 58 Connection Policy – Enter the appropriate values for TCP/ UDP sessions as described in the following table. Parameter Defaults Description Fragmentation half-open wait 10 sec Configures the number of seconds that a packet state structure remains active. When the timeout value expires, the router drops the unassembled packet, freeing that structure for use by another packet.
Advanced Setup DoS Criteria and Port Scan Criteria Set up DoS and port scan criteria in the spaces provided (as shown below). Parameter Defaults Description Total incomplete TCP/ UDP sessions HIGH 300 sessions Defines the rate of newly unestablished sessions that will cause the software to start deleting half-open sessions. Total incomplete TCP/ UDP sessions LOW 250 sessions Defines the rate of newly unestablished sessions that will cause the software to stop deleting half-open sessions.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Parameter Defaults Description Flooding cracker block time 300 sec Length of time from detecting a flood attack to blocking of the attack. DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ host to this screen.
Advanced Setup DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Settings Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet with a method to tie their domain name(s) to computers or servers. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes. Domain Name – A series of alphanumeric strings separated by periods, that is the address of a the Wireless Barricade network connection and that identifies the owner of the address.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade This DNS feature is powered by TZO.com. With a DDNS connection you can host your own web site, email server, FTP site, and more at your own location even if you have a dynamic IP address. (Default: Disable) UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Setting Enable UPnP by checking ON in the screen above.
