How can I protect against IP spoofing attacks?    
The Prestige's firewall will automatically detect the IP spoofing and drop it if the firewall is turned on. If the 
firewall is not turned on we can configure a filter set to block the IP spoofing attacks. The basic scheme is as 
follows:   
For the input data filter:   
 
Deny packets from the outside that claim to be from the inside   
 
Allow everything that is not spoofing us   
Filter rule setup:   
 
Filter type =TCP/IP Filter Rule   
 
Active =Yes   
 
Source IP Addr =a.b.c.d   
 
Source IP Mask =w.x.y.z   
 
Action Matched =Drop   
 
Action Not Matched =Forward   
Where a.b.c.d is an IP address on your local network and w.x.y.z is your netmask:   
For the output data filters:   
 
Deny bounceback packet   
 
Allow packets that originate from us   
Filter rule setup:   
 
Filter Type =TCP/IP Filter Rule   
 
Active =Yes   
 
Destination IP Addr =a.b.c.d   
 
Destination IP Mask =w.x.y.z   
 
Action Matched =Drop   
 
Action No Matched =Forward   
Where a.b.c.d is an IP address on your local network and w.x.y.z is your netmask.
