Content Filtering

With its content filtering features, the Model RP114 router prevents objectionable content from

reaching your PCs. Its content filtering features include:

• Content filtering by domain or keyword

The Model RP114 router uses content filtering to enforce your network’s Internet access

policies. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords

within Web URLs.

• Logging of inappropriate use

You can configure the Model RP114 router to log access to Web sites and to e-mail the log to

you. You can also configure the router to send an immediate alert e-mail message to you

whenever a local user attempts to access a blocked Web site.

Security

The Model RP114 router is equipped with several features designed to maintain security, as

described in this section.

• PCs Hidden by NAT

Network address translation (NAT) opens a temporary path to the Internet for requests

originating from the local network. Requests originating from outside the LAN are discarded,

preventing users outside the LAN from finding and directly accessing the PCs on the LAN.

• Port Forwarding with NAT

Although NAT prevents Internet locations from directly accessing the PCs on the LAN, the

router allows you to direct incoming traffic to specific PCs based on the service port number

of the incoming request, or to one designated “DMZ” host computer. You can specify

forwarding of single ports or ranges of ports.

• Packet Filtering

The Model RP114 router provides extensive packet filtering capabilities. Packets are allowed

or discarded based on their source or destination addresses, service port numbers, or raw data

patterns within the packet.
