DESCRIPTION

Port

You may change the server port number for a service if needed, however you must

 

use the same port number in order to use that service for remote management.

 

 

Access Status

Select the interface(s) through which a computer may send DNS queries to the

 

ZyXEL Device.

 

 

Secured Client IP

A secured client is a “trusted” computer that is allowed to send DNS queries to the

 

ZyXEL Device.

 

Select All to allow any computer to send DNS queries to the ZyXEL Device.

 

Choose Selected to just allow the computer with the IP address that you specify to

 

send DNS queries to the ZyXEL Device.

15.8 Configuring ICMP

Use this screen to control how the ZyXEL Device responds to other types of requests. Click Advanced > Remote MGMT > ICMP. The screen appears as shown.

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