Configuring Firewall Firewall
The router provides two types of Attack Defense: Flood Defense and Packet Anomaly
Defense. Flood Defense limits the receiving rate of the specific types of packets, and
Packet Anomaly Defense discards the illegal packets directly.
Access Control
Access Control can filter the packets passing through the router based on the Access
Control rules. An Access Control rule includes a filter policy and some conditions, such as
service type, receiving interface and effective time. The router will apply the filter policy to
the packets matching these conditions, and thus to limit network traffic, manage network
access behaviors and more.
Access Control can prevent various network attacks, such as attacks on TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol) and ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets, and can also
manage network access behaviors, such as controlling access to the internet.
