The following table describes the labels in this screen.
19.5 Services Screen If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your NBG-419N, an
ICMP response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to
know the NBG-419N exists. Use this screen to prevent the ICMP response packet
from being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering your NBG-419N when
unsupported ports are probed.
You can also use this screen to enable service blocking, enter/delete/modify the
services you want to block and the date/time you want to block them.
