ICMP | Internet Control Message Protocol is a message control and |
| protocol between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet |
| Protocol (IP) datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software |
| and directly apparent to the application user. |
Respond to Ping | The Prestige will not respond to any incoming Ping requests when Disable is |
on | selected. Select LAN to reply to incoming LAN Ping requests. Select WAN to reply |
| to incoming WAN Ping requests. Otherwise select LAN & WAN to reply to both |
| incoming LAN and WAN Ping requests. |
Do not respond to | Select this option to prevent hackers from finding the Prestige by probing for |
requests for | unused ports. If you select this option, the Prestige will not respond to port |
unauthorized | request(s) for unused ports, thus leaving the unused ports and the Prestige |
services | unseen. By default this option is not selected and the Prestige will reply with an |
| ICMP Port Unreachable packet for a port probe on its unused UDP ports, and a |
| TCP Reset packet for a port probe on its unused TCP ports. |
