C 101 March 2009 Verizon FiOS Router (Model 9100EM) User Guide13.1 General Firewall Security Settings This section explains how to configure your Router’s firewall security features. The Router’s firewall security settings allow you to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your network by prohibiting certain types of inbound and outbound network traffic and by allowing you to configure specific firewall rules. IMPORTANT: If you need help, click Main in the top navigation menu to go to the home page. In the Quick Links section of the home page, click Verizon Help. Clicking this link takes you to Verizon’s Online Help site, where you can access additional information about your Router. To change your firewall security level, click the option button next to the desired security setting. Next, click Apply to allow the changes to take effect. General Firewall Settings Maximum Security (High) High security level only allows basic Internet functionality. Only Mail, News, Web, FTP, VoIP/SIP and IPSEC traffic is allowed. All other traffic is prohibited. Typical Security (Medium) Like High security, Medium security only allows basic Internet functionality by default. However, Medium security allows customization of Network Address Translation (NAT) so you can enable certain types of traffic. This is the factory default security level. Minimum Security (Low) Low security setting will allow all traffic except for known malicious attacks. With Low security, your Router is visible to other computers on the Internet. Block IP Fragments This option can prevent hackers from using fragmented data packets to possibly sabotage your network. Note: Some VPN and UDP services use IP fragments, and this feature may need to be disabled. If you have questions about this feature, check with Verizon technical support. It is disabled (box is unchecked) by default.

For example, one computer can be prohibited from surfing the Internet, another computer from transferring files using FTP, and the whole network from receiving incoming E-mail. Access control defines restrictions on the types of requests that can pass from the local network out to the Internet, and thus may block traffic flowing in both directions. To add an Access Control rule, click the New Entry link or, alternatively, you can click the plus icon. Adding a new entry will allow you to choose a device from the known network devices (For example, your computers) or enter a MAC address of a new device.
