VRT-401 User Manual

Options

Respond to	The ICMP protocol is used by the "ping" and "trace route" pro-
ICMP	grams, and by network monitoring and diagnostic programs.
	∙ If checked, VRT-401 will respond to ICMP packets received
	from the Internet.
	∙ If not checked, ICMP packets from the Internet will be ig-
	nored. Disabling this option provides a slight increase in
	security.
Allow IPsec	The IPSec protocol is used to establish a secure connection, and
	is widely used by VPN (Virtual Private Networking) programs.
	∙ If checked, IPSec connections are allowed.
	∙ If not checked, IPSec connections are blocked.
Allow PPTP	PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) is widely used by VPN
	(Virtual Private Networking) programs.
	∙ If checked, PPTP connections are allowed.
	∙ If not checked, PPTP connections are blocked.
Allow L2TP	L2TP is a protocol developed by Cisco for VPNs (Virtual Private
	Networks).
	∙ If checked, L2TP connections are allowed.
	∙ If not checked, L2TP connections are blocked.
Allow TFTP	If enabled, TFTP (Trivial FTP) connections can be made to this
firmware up-	device.
	∙ TFTP can be used to upgrade the firmware. This is normally
grade
	not required, and should not be enabled unless necessary.
	∙ You must obtain the firmware upgrade file first; instructions
	for using TFTP will be available with the upgrade.
