EATURES AND BENEFITS
Features and Benefits
•Local network connection via a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port
•DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name
mapping
•Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion
detection, and NAT
•NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account,
and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet
services such as web, FTP, email, and Telnet)
•Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that
supports TCP/IP
•Super G mode support. Super G provides performance boosting
features which increase throughput of the wireless network automatically increasing the effective transmission speed with no user
intervention required
•Compatible with all popular Internet applications
1-2
Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by this BARRICADE:
•Wired and Wireless LAN
The BARRICADE provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices,
and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to
create a network in small offices or homes.
•Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection.
Since many ADSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish
communications with end users, the BARRICADE includes built-in
clients for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these
services on your computer.
•Shared IP Address
The BARRICADE provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a
single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users
on your network can browse the web at the same time.
I
NTRODUCTION
•Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the BARRICADE to act as
a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then,
depending on the requested service (or port number), the
BARRICADE can route the request to the appropriate server (at
another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct
attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing
you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access
to your network.
1-3
A
PPLICATIONS
•DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an
Internet application from functioning correctly.
•Security
The BARRICADE supports security features that deny Internet
access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that
the administrator does not want to serve. The BARRICADE’s firewall
also blocks common hacker attacks, including 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.
WPA/WPA2, WEP, SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over
the wireless network.
•Virtual Private Network (VPN Pass-through)
The BARRICADE supports three of the most commonly used VPN
protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. The VPN protocols supported
by the BARRICADE are briefly described below.
1-4
•Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol – Provides a secure tunnel for
remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes
provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.
•L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F – Like PPTP,
L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.
•IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can
support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using
digital certificates for device authentication.

Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called Denial-ofService (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.

ONFIGURING THE
BARRICADE
Intrusion Detection
The BARRICADE’s firewall inspects packets at the application layer,
maintains TCP and UDP session information including timeouts and
number of active sessions, and provides the ability to detect and prevent
certain types of network attacks such as Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks.
4-42
S
ECURITY
Network attacks that deny access to a network device are called 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 DoS attacks including: Ping of Death
(Ping flood) attack, SYN flood attack, IP fragment attack (Teardrop
Attack), Brute-force attack, Land Attack, IP Spoofing attack, IP with zero
length, TCP null scan (Port Scan Attack), UDP port loopback, Snork
Attack.
Note: The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so
we advise enabling the prevention features to protect your
network.

Enabled This 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.

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly
from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted
two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ (Demilitarized
Zone) host on this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose
your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option
as a last resort.
