Intrusion Detection
The router’s Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used to detect hacker attacks and intrusion
attempts from the Internet. If the IDS function of the firewall is enabled, inbound packets are
filtered and blocked depending on whether they are detected as possible hacker attacks,
intrusion attempts or other connections that the router determines to be suspicious.
Blacklist: If the router detects a possible attack, the source IP or destination IP address will be
added to the Blacklist. Any further attempts using this IP address will be blocked for the time
period specified as the Block Duration. The default setting for this function is false (disabled).
Some attack types are denied immediately without using the Blacklist function, such as Land
attack and Echo/CharGen scan.
• Intrusion Detection: If enabled, IDS will block Smurf attack attempts. Default is false.
• Block Duration:
o
Victim Protection Block Duration: This is the duration for blocking Smurf attacks.

a possible Scan attack. Scan attack types include X’mas scan, IMAP SYN/FIN
scan and similar attempts. Default value is 86400 seconds.
o

possible Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Possible DoS attacks this attempts to
block include Ascend Kill and WinNuke. Default value is 1800 seconds.
• Max TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether a
SYN Flood attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds.

occurring or not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second.
• Max ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is occurring or
not. Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests
