3.4.2 Port Triggering
Port Triggering: Allow you to do port forwarding without setting a fixed PC. By setting Port Triggering
rules, you can allow inbound traffic to arrive at a specific LAN host, using ports different than those used
for the outbound traffic. This is called port triggering since the outbound traffic triggers to which ports
inbound traffic is directed.
Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet calling
and so on. These applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. Port Triggering is used for some of
these applications that can work with an NAT router.

3.5 Firewall
Originally, the term firewall referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire
from one room to another. The network term ”firewall” is a system or group of systems that enforces an
access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a
trusted network from an untrusted network. Of course, firewalls cannot solve every security problem. A
firewall is one of the mechanisms used to establish a network security perimeter in support of a network
security policy. It should never be the only mechanism or method employed. For a firewall to guard
effectively, you must design and deploy it appropriately. This requires integrating the firewall into a broad
information-security policy. In addition, specific policies must be implemented within the firewall itself.
Choose menu “Firewall”, you can see the submenus under the main menu: Firewall Option, Client
Filtering, URL Filtering, and MAC Filtering.
Click any of them. And you will be able to configu re the corresponding fu nction. The detailed explanations
for each submenu are provided below.
3.5.1 Firewall Options
Firewall: Prevent Network Attack. It can protect your network to prevent hackers attack. In this page, you
can configure the functions below to protect the router from being attacked.

IP Spoofing: If you select this option, the Router will monitor whether the packets from the particular
region is doing IP deceive. In the event, the Router will start up the blocking function immediately. Note:
The function takes effect only when the Region is LAN.
Land Attack: This is an attack combining Flood attack and IP spoofing. When the attackers send the
spoof SYN datagram which including the casualty’s IP address and make it the destination and source IP
address, the LAND attack happens. And the Router will start up the blocking function immediately.
TCP Syn Flood：During a second, if a particular port of a destination IP addresses receives many TCP
SYN packets, and the number of these packets exceeds the prescript value, then the Port will be deemed
to suffering from SYN Flood Attack. And the Router will start up the blocking function immediately.
3.5.2 Client Filtering
Client Filter: Allow you to block Internet access for local clients based on IP addresses, application types,
(i.e., HTTP port), and time of day.

Dynamic Routing can be used to cache routes learned by routing protocols, thus allowing the automation
of static routing maintenance. The router, using the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) protocol,
determines the network packet's route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the
destination. In the working mode, router stands for normal rip router. Default gateway stand for router
announces default route on both sides. The rip function is workable only when WAN mode was set to
Static IP or DHCP.
