(Default: Disable) SECURITY 4-27 Security The first menu item in the Security section is Firewall. The Barricade provides a stateful inspection firewall which is designed to protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks when activated. Its purpose is to allow a private local area network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The second menu item is Wireless. This section allows you to configure wireless security settings according to your environment and the privacy level required. To configure your firewall settings, click Firewall in the left-hand menu. CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE 4-28 Firewall The Barricade’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer, maintains TCP and UDP session information including time-outs and the number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent certain types of network attacks. Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-of- Service (DoS) attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have access to network resources. The Barricade protects against the following DoS attacks: IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. (See “Intrusion Detection” on page 4-35 for details.) The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network. Enable the firewall feature, and click Save Settings to proceed. SECURITY 4-29 Schedule Rule The first item listed in the Firewall section is Schedule Rule. You may filter Internet access for local clients based on rules. You may filter Internet access for local clients based on rules. Each access control rule may be activated at a scheduled time. First, define the schedule on the Schedule Rule page, then apply the rule on the Access Control page. To add a new rule, click Add Schedule Rule. Proceed to the following page.

CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE 4-38 Stateful Packet Inspection EnabledThis option allows you to select different application types that are using dynamic port numbers. If you wish to use Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) for blocking packets, click on the Yes radio button in the “Enable SPI and Anti-DoS firewall protection” field and then check the inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation, TCP Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service and TFTP Service. It is called a “stateful” packet inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to determine the state of the communication; i.e., it ensures that the stated destination computer has previously requested the current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all communications are initiated by the recipient computer and are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted from previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until a connection to the specific port is requested. When particular types of traffic are checked, only the particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be allowed. For example, if the user only checks FTP Service in the Stateful Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will be blocked except for FTP connections initiated from the local LAN. When hackers attempt to enter your network, we can alert you by email Your E-mail Address Enter your email address. SMTP Server Address Enter your SMTP server address (usually the part of the email address following the “@” sign).

CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE 4-54 Virtual Server Using this feature, you can put PCs with public IPs and PCs with private IPs in the same LAN area. If you configure the Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Barricade redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address). For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them. The more common TCP service ports include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110. Click All known port number for more information about public service ports. ADVANCED SETTINGS 4-55 Special Applications Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections. These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application. Click the List of well known special applications link for more information. Specify the public port number normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires. The ports may be in the format of a single port, or in a range, e.g., 72-96, or a combination of both. CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE 4-56 Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the Popular Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the application and then choose a row number to copy this data into. Note:Choosing a row that already contains data will overwrite the current settings. For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers ADVANCED SETTINGS 4-57 NAT Mapping Table This page displays the current NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) address mappings.
