Select this option to prevent hackers from finding the BCM50a
Integrated Router by probing for unused ports. If you select this
option, the BCM50a Integrated Router does not send ICMP response
packets to port requests for unused ports, thus leaving the unused
ports and the BCM50a Integrated Router unseen.
If the firewall blocks a packet from the WAN, the BCM50a Integrated
Router sends a TCP reset packet. Use the sys firewall tcprst rst off
command in the command interpreter if you want to stop the BCM50a
Integrated Router from sending TCP reset packets.
