USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of
interest might be there. The Router can be set up so it will not respond
to an ICMP ping from the outside. This heightens your Router’s security
level.
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click
“Apply Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
Security Log
This page keeps a log of router activity, such as computers logging in to
and out of the Router, as well as attempts from the Internet to connect
to the Router. This log file can be saved and cleared.
Utilities
The “Utilities” screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router
and perform certain administrative functions.
