Chapter 7
Security
The Netopia Router provides a number of security features to help
protect its configuration screens and your local network from
unauthorized access. Although these features are optional, it is
strongly recommended that you use them.
This chapter is divided into five main sections:
■ “Suggested security measures” on page 7-2, lists actions for
blocking potential security holes.
■ “User accounts,” beginning on page 7-2, shows you how to set
up name/password combinations to protect the Netopia
Router’s configuration screens.
■ “Telnet access” on page 7-5, shows you how to control access
to the Netopia Router by those using the Telnet protocol.
■ “About filters and filter sets,” beginning on page 7-6, and
“Working with IP filters and filter sets,” beginning on page 7-16,
have information on what filters are, how they work, how to
customize them, and how to use them in sets. For information
on IPX filters and filter sets, see “IPX filters,” beginning on
page 5-8.
