| IP Filtering | Set up rules to control the forwarding of incoming |
|
|
| and outgoing data between your LAN and the |
|
|
| Internet and within your LAN. For example, you |
|
|
| can create IP filter rules to block attempts by |
|
|
| certain computers on your LAN to access certain |
|
|
| types of data or Internet locations. You can also |
|
|
| block or allow incoming access to computers on |
|
|
| your LAN. This page displays the current filters |
|
|
| and lets you edit and add filters. |
|
| DHCP | Specify Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol |
|
|
| (DHCP) settings to enable network administrators |
|
|
| to centrally manage the assignment and |
|
|
| distribution of IP information to computers on a |
|
|
| network. When you enable DHCP on a network, |
|
|
| you allow a device (such as your X4’s router or a |
|
|
| router located with your Internet service provider) |
|
|
| to assign temporary IP addresses to your |
|
|
| computers whenever they connect to your |
|
|
| network. |
|
| IP Routing | Set up the routes on which you want the X4 to |
|
|
| send data it receives on a particular interface (for |
|
|
| example, LAN interface, Ethernet interface, etc.) |
|
|
| Routes specify the IP address of the next device |
|
|
| interface or Internet destination to forward data to, |
|
|
| given the ultimate destination of the data. |
|
| Blocked | Select the protocols you want blocked from your |
|
| Protocols | computer (for example, IP Milticast, NetBEUI, IPX, |
|
|
| APR, AppleTalk). |
|
| Bridge Filter | Filter packets at the Ethernet protocol level. |
|
| Parental | Block Internet access from one or more |
|
| Controls | computers on the network for a specified time |
|
|
| period each day. |
|
| Firewall | Modify the default firewall settings. For example, |
|
|
| use this page to specify the email address(es) to |
|
|
| which you want an alert sent if your |
|
|
| computer/network is attacked. |
|
| NAT | Specify Network Address Translation settings. |
|
|
| The most common reason for changing the |
|
|
| default settings is if you have a LAN and require |
|
|
| each computer to have its own public IP address. |
|
|
| Otherwise, the default NAT setting provides |
|
|
| sufficient protection for most users. |
