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.
