Prestige 334W User’s Guide

14.8 Configuring Security

To change your Prestige’s security settings, click REMOTE MGMT, then the Security tab. The screen appears as shown.

If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your Prestige, an ICMP response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the Prestige exists. Your Prestige supports anti- probing, which prevents the ICMP response packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering your Prestige when unsupported ports are probed.

ICMP

Internet Control Message Protocol is a message control and error-reporting protocol

datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software and directly

 

apparent to the application user.
