Philips CPWBS154 manual Access Control, Parameter Description

ENGLISH 45

Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-of- Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet.Their goal is not to steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have access to network resources.

The ADSL Wireless Base Station firewall function protects against the following DoS attacks: IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack,TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. (See page 48-50 for details.)

The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network. Select Enable and click the ‘SAVE SETTINGS’ button to open the Firewall submenus.
