Parameter descripon
Parameter
Descripon
ICMP Flood Aack
Defense
Used to enable or disable the ICMP ood aack defense.
The ICMP ood attack means that, to implement aacks on the target host, the
aacker sends a large number of ICMP Echo messages to the target host, which
causes the target host to spend a lot of me and resources on processing ICMP Echo
messages, but cannot process normal requests or responses.
TCP Flood Aack
Defense
Used to enable or disable the TCP ood aack defense.
The TCP ood aack means that, to implement attacks on the target host, the
aacker quickly iniates a large number of TCP connecon requests in a short
period, and then suspends in a semi-connected state, thereby occupying a large
number of server resources unl the server denies any services.
UDP Flood Aack
Defense
Used to enable or disable the UDP ood aack defense.
The UDP ood attack is implemented similarly with the ICMP ood aack, during
which the aacker sends a large number of UDP packets to the target host, causing
the target host to be busy processing these UDP packets, but unable to process
normal packet requests or responses.
Block Ping From WAN
Used to enable or disable the Block Ping From WAN funcon.
When it is enabled, the Mesh device automacally ignores the ping to its WAN from
hosts from the internet and prevents itself from being exposed, while prevenng
external ping aacks.

DMZ host
Overview
A DMZ host on a LAN is free from restricons in communicang with the internet It is useful for .
getng beer and smoother experiences in video conferences and online games. You can also set
the host of a server within the LAN as a DMZ host when in need of accessing the server from the
internet.
A DMZ host is not protected by the rewall of the Mesh device. A hacker may leverage the DMZ
host to aack your LAN. Therefore, enable the DMZ funcon only when necessary.
Hackers may leverage the DMZ host to aack the local network. Do not use the DMZ host funcon
randomly.
Security soware, anvirus soware, and the built-in OS rewall of the computer may cause DMZ
funcon failures. Disable them when using the DMZ funcon. If the DMZ funcon is not required,
you are recommended to disable it and enable your rewall, security, and anvirus soware.

Stac roung
Overview
Roung is the act of choosing an opmal path to transfer data from a source address to a
desnaon address. A stac route is a special route that is manually congured and has the
advantages of simplicity, eciency, and reliability. Proper stac roung can reduce roung
problems and overload of roung data ow, and improve the forwarding speed of data packets.
A stac route is set by specifying the desnaon network, subnet mask, default gateway, and
interface The desnaon network and subnet mask are used to determine a desnaon network .
or host. Aer the stac route is established, all data whose desnaon address is the desnaon
network of the stac route are directly forwarded to the gateway address through the stac route
