8.3 ALG Service Settings
In the context of computer networking, an ALG or application layer gateway consists of a security component that augments a firewall or NAT employed in a computer network. It allows customized NAT tra versal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer "control/data" protocols such as FTP, BitTorrent, SIP, RTSP, file transfer applications etc.
In order for these protocols to work through NAT or a firewall, either the application has to know about an address/port numbe r combin ation th at al lows inc omin g packets, or the NAT has to monitor the control traffic and open up port mappings (firewall pinhole) dynamically as required. Legitimate application data can thus be passed through the security checks of the firewall or NAT that would have otherwise restricted the
54
11N Wireless Broadband Router
traffic for not meeting its limited filter criteria.
Usually allowing client applications to use dynamic ephemeral TCP/ UDP ports to communicate with the known ports used by the server applications, even though a firewall-configuration may allow only a limited number of known ports. In the absence of an ALG, either the ports would get blocked or the network administrator would need to explicitly open up a large number of ports in the firewall; rendering the network vulnerable to attacks on those ports.
In the default ALG settings, the following protocols have enabled. It is recommended to keep the settings unchanged.
1. FTP
2. TFTP
3. PPTP
4. IPSec
5. L2TP

Appendix 1Glossary
Access Point (AP):
Any entity that has station functionality and provides access to the distribution services, via the wireless medium (WM) for associated stations.
Channel: An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used simultaneously , in the s ame volume of space, with other instances of medium use(on other channels) by other instances of the same physical layer (PHY),with an acceptably low frame error ratio(FER) due to mutual interference.
SSID: Service Set identifier. An SSID is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your network’s SSID should be unique to your network and identical for all devices within the network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 20 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network.
82
11N Wireless Broadband Router
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the method for secure wireless data transmission. WEP adds data encryption to every single packet transmitted in the wireless network. The 40bit and 64bit encryption are the same because of out 64 bits, 40 bits are private. Conversely, 104 and 128 bit are the same. WEP uses a common KEY to encode the data. Therefore, all devices on a wireless network must use the same key and same type of encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY; one is to enter a 16-bit HEX digit. Using this method, users must enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-digit number (for 128-bit) in the KEY field. Users must select the same key number for all devices. The other method is to enter a text and let the computer generate the WEP key for you. However, since each product use different method for key generation, it might not work for different products. Therefore, it is NOT recommended using.
WPA/WPA2:
A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much more
83
11N Wireless Broadband Router
difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.
