2. Refer to the Global Firewall Disable field to enable or disable the Mobility 7131 Access Point
firewall.
3. Refer to the Timeout Configuration field to define a timeout interval to terminate IP address
translations.
4. Refer to the Configurable Firewall Filters field to set the following firewall filters:
Disable Firewall Select the Disable Firewall checkbox to disable all firewall functions on the
Mobility 7131 Access Point. This includes firewall filters, NAT, VP, content filtering,
and subnet access. Disabling the Mobility 7131 Access Point firewall makes the
Mobility 7131 Access Point vulnerable to data attacks and is not recommended
during normal operation if using the WAN port.
NAT Timeout Network Address Translation (NAT) converts an IP address in one network to a
different IP address or set of IP addresses in a different network. Set a
NAT
Timeout interval (in minutes) the
Mobility 7131 Access Point
uses to
terminate the IP address translation process if no translation activity is detected
after the specified interval.
SYN Flood Attack
Check A SYN flood attack requests a connection and then fails to promptly acknowledge a
destination host's response, leaving the destination host vulnerable to a flood of connection
requests.
Source Routing
Check A source routing attack specifies an exact route for a packet's travel through a network, while
exploiting the use of an intermediate host to gain access to a private host.
Winnuke Attack
Check A "Win-nuking" attack uses the IP address of a destination host to send junk packets to its
receiving port.
