To configure one of these applications, tick its corresponding checkbox and then modify the fields listed below the following figure.
DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router Access Control Access Control, or MAC filtering, is a basic security measure that should be used on any network that is exposed to a security risk. A packet filter system examines data packets and scrutinizes them in order to control network access. Filtering rules determine whether packets are passed through the Router from either side of the gateway. The rules are created and controlled by the network administrator and can be precisely defined.
DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router Firewall & DMZ The Firewall & DMZ menu is used to define enforce specific predefined policies intended to protect against certain common types of attacks. A DoS "denial-of-service" attack is characterized by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent legitimate users of a service from using that service.
DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router DMZ Host Firewalls may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or playing Internet video games. For these applications, a firewall bypass can be set up using a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is a “visible” address and does not benefit from the full protection of the firewall function. Therefore it is advisable that other security precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices on the LAN.
DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router UPnP UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked devices. When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS service can also be used if available on the network.
DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router Routing Use Static Routing to specify a route used for data traffic within your Ethernet LAN or to route data on the WAN. This is used to specify that all packets destined for a particular network or subnet use a predetermined gateway. Static routing on the WAN is only supported if your WAN connection protocol is not using PPPoE.
DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router Maintenance The menus of the Maintenance directory include Device Administration, Save and Restore, Firmware Update, DDNS Setting, System Clock, Scheduules and Log Setting.
