If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your P-793H v2, an

ICMP response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to

know the P-793H v2 exists. Your P-793H v2 supports anti-probing, which prevents

the ICMP response packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering

your P-793H v2 when unsupported ports are probed.

Note: If you want your device to respond to pings and requests for unauthorized

services, you may also need to configure the firewall anti probing settings to

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

ICMP

Internet Control Message Protocol is a message control and error-

reporting 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.

Respond to

Ping on

The P-793H v2 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.

Do not respond

to requests for

unauthorized

services

Select this option to prevent hackers from finding the P-793H v2 by

probing for unused ports. If you select this option, the P-793H v2 will

not respond to port request(s) for unused ports, thus leaving the unused

ports and the P-793H v2 unseen. If this option is not selected, the P-

793H v2 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.

Note that the probing packets must first traverse the P-793H v2's

firewall rule checks before reaching this anti-probing mechanism.

Therefore if a firewall rule stops a probing packet, the P-793H v2 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.
