Monitoring Network Health

Firewall

A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. The firewall is designed to protect hosts located on the Local Area Network (LAN) from attacks initiated on the Wide Area Network (WAN). Protection is not provided for attacks initiated from the LAN. Due to the nature of firewall operations and the system resources required to service these operations, firewall operations may degrade the performance of the Router – especially under heavy network traffic loads.

The firewall menu item accessible from the left navigation pane of the Web interface expands to provide a list of options to be enabled or disabled as well as links to configure the more complex details of each security feature.

Level

Set the firewall security level.

Snooze

Temporarily disable the firewall. It is important to note that when the firewall is snoozing

 

all protection provided by the firewall is disabled.

DMZ

Configure firewall DMZ for controlling a virtual DMZ on the Local Area Network. The

 

purpose of the DMZ is to redirect suspicious network traffic received from a public WAN

 

to a secured LAN-side host dedicated to this purpose.

Filter Rules

Add and delete custom inbound and outbound firewall rules.

Log

View log listing of firewall activity including records of denial of access, reason codes,

 

and descriptions.

ADS

Configure what events the internal Attack Detection System (ADS) will protect against

 

and log from a list of well-known attacks initiated on the Wide Area Network.
