5.6 Firewall
The BreezeMAX Si 2000 provides extensive firewall protection by restricting
connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and defending against a wide
array of common hacker attacks. However, for applications that require
unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a
demilitarized zone (DMZ).
Figure 5-17: Firewall Setting
• Enable – Enables the feature.
• Disable – Disables the feature. (This is the default.)
5.6.1 Firewall Options
The BreezeMAX Si 2000’s firewall enables access control of client PCs, blocks
common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, Smurf
Attack, TCP null scan, ICMP defect, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not
significantly affect system performance and it is best to leave it enabled to protect
your network.
Figure 5-18: Firewall Options
• Enable Hacker Attack Protect – Network attacks that deny access to a
network device are called DoS attacks. DoS attacks are aimed at devices and
networks with a connection to the Internet. Their goal is not to steal
information, but to disable a device or network so users no longer have access
