Configuring the Firewall

Your N1 Vision is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide
array of common hacker attacks including:
• IP Spoofing
• Land Attack Ping of Death (PoD)
• Denial of Service (DoS)
• IP with zero length
• Smurf Attack
• TCP Null Scan
• SYN flood
• UDP flooding
• Tear Drop Attack
• ICMP defect
• RIP defect
• Fragment flooding
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack networks.
These ports appear to be "stealth" meaning that for all intents and purposes, they
do not exist to a would-be hacker. Disabling the firewall protection will not leave
your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that
you leave the firewall enabled.
