Gateway—How to Configure Static Routes
MIME Flood Attack Check
A MIME flood attack uses an improperly formatted MIME header in “sendmail” to cause a
buffer overflow on the destination host.

Gateway—How to Configure Static Routes
A router uses routing tables and protocols to forward data packets from one network to
another. The switch’s router manages traffic within the switch’s network, and directs traffic
from the WAN to destinations on the switch-managed LAN. The WS 2000 Network
Management System provides the Router screen to view and set the router’s connected
routes. To view this screen, select Network Configuration --> Router from the menu on
the left.
The Connected Routes area of the screen displays a list of currently connected routes
between the enabled subnets, the WAN, and the router. The information here is generated
from settings applied on the Subnet and WAN screens. The destination for each subnet is its
IP address. The subnet mask (or network mask) and gateway settings are those belonging to
each subnet, or to the WAN in general. If multiple IP addresses are associated with WAN
communications, all the address will be displayed in the Connected Routes are of the
screen. Also listed here is the default route, which specifies the WAN gateway IP address.
To make changes to the information in the Connected Routes information, go to the
appropriate subnet screen (LAN --> <subnet name> or the WAN screen (WAN).
