Have you permitted remote configuration?
If you do not require remote configuration, please ensure to switch it off.
If you need to make use of remote configuration, ensure that you do not
fail to password-protect the configuration (see the section above). The
field for disenabling remote configuration is to be found in LANconfig in
the 'Management' configuration area on the 'Security' tab. Under ‘Access
rights – From remote networks’ select the option ‘denied’ for all methods
of configuration.
Have your password-protected the SNMP configuration?
Protect the SNMP configuration with a password too. The field for pass-
word-protecting the SNMP configuration is also to be found in LANconfig
in the 'Management' configuration area on the 'Security' tab.
Have you activated the firewall?
The stateful inspection firewall of LANCOM devices ensures that you local

LANconfig under 'Firewall/QoS' on the 'General' tab.
Note that firewall security mechanisms (incl. IP masquerading, port
filters, access lists) are active only for data connections that are trans-
mitted via the IP router. Direct data connections via the bridge are not
protected by the firewall!
Are you using a 'deny all' firewall strategy?
Maximum security and control is initially achieved by denying all data
traffic from passing the firewall. The only connections to be accepted by
the firewall are those that are to be explicitly permitted. This ensures that
Trojan horses and certain types of e-mail virus are denied communication
to the outside. Activate the firewall rules in LANconfig under 'Firewall/
QoS' on the 'Rules' tab. Instructions on this are to be found in the refe-
rence manual.
Have you activated IP masquerading?
IP masquerading refers to the concealment of local computers while they
access the Internet. All that is revealed to the Internet is the IP number of
the router module of the device. The IP address can be fixed or dynami-
cally assigned by the provider. The computers in the LAN then use the rou-
ter as a gateway and are not visible themselves. The router separates the
Internet from the intranet like a wall. The application of IP masquerading
is set in the routing table for every route individually. The routing table can
