logs. Click Security > Firewall to open the General screen.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

13.5 Services Screen

If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your NBG-417N, an
ICMP response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to
know the NBG-417N exists. Use this screen to prevent the ICMP response packet
from being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering your NBG-417N when
unsupported ports are probed.

You can also use this screen to enable service blocking, enter/delete/modify the
services you want to block and the date/time you want to block them.
