Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find
potential victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address
and receiving a response from the IP address, a hacker can
determine that something of interest might be there. The Router
can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP ping from the
outside. This heightens your Router’s security level.
(1)
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click
“Apply Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
Utilities
The “Utilities” screen lets you manage different parameters of the
Router and perform certain administrative functions.
