Chapter 15 Remote Management The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 49 Advanced > Remote Management > ICMP LABEL ICMP Respond to Ping on Do not respond to requests for unauthorized services DESCRIPTION Internet Control Message Protocol is a message control and errorreporting protocol between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software and directly apparent to the application user. The P-660H-T1v3s will not respond to any incoming Ping requests when Disable is selected. Select LAN to reply to incoming LAN Ping requests. Select WAN to reply to incoming WAN Ping requests. Otherwise select LAN & WAN to reply to both incoming LAN and WAN Ping requests. Select this option to prevent hackers from finding the P-660H-T1v3s by probing for unused ports. If you select this option, the P-660H-T1v3s will not respond to port request(s) for unused ports, thus leaving the unused ports and the P-660H-T1v3s unseen. If this option is not selected, the P660H-T1v3s will reply with an ICMP port unreachable packet for a port probe on its unused UDP ports and a TCP reset packet for a port probe on its unused TCP ports. Apply Cancel Note that the probing packets must first traverse the P-660H-T1v3s's firewall rule checks before reaching this anti-probing mechanism. Therefore if a firewall rule stops a probing packet, the P-660H-T1v3s reacts based on the firewall rule to either send a TCP reset packet for a blocked TCP packet (or an ICMP port-unreachable packet for a blocked UDP packets) or just drop the packets without sending a response packet.
