12.4 Services Screen

Click Security > Firewall > Services. The screen appears as shown next.
If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your NBG-318S, an ICMP
response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the NBG-318S
exists. Use this screen to prevent the ICMP response packet from being sent. This keeps
outsiders from discovering your NBG-318S 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.

Log

Select whether to create a log for packets that are traveling in the selected

direction when the packets are blocked or forwarded.
To log packets related to firewall rules, make sure that Access Control under Log

is selected in the Logs > Log Settings screen.

Apply

Click Apply to save the settings.

Reset

Click Reset to start configuring this screen again.
