Block Services (Port Filtering)
Services are functions that server computers perform at the request of c\
lient computers. For 
example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date i\
nformation, and 
game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on \
the Internet sends 
a request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or 
port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP\
 
packets. For example, a packet that is sent with the destination port nu\
mber 80 is an HTTP 
(web server) request. 
The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Interne\
t Engineering 
T
 ask Force (IETF at http://www.ietf.org/ ) and published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.” 
Service numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the ran\
ge 1024 to 65535 by 
the authors of the application. Although the router already holds a list of many service port 
numbers, you are not limited to these choices. You can often determine port number 
information by contacting the publisher of the application, by asking us\
er groups or 
newsgroups, or by searching.
The Block Services screen lets you add and block specific Internet servi\
ces by computers on 
your network. 
 This is called service blocking or port filtering. To add a service for blocking, 
first determine which port number or range of numbers the application us\
es. 
To block services:
1. Select 
Advanced > Security > Block Services  to display the following screen:
2.Select either Per Schedule or  Always to enable service blocking, and click  Apply. If you 
selected Per Schedule, specify a time period in the Schedule screen as d\
escribed in 
Schedule Blocking  on page  71.

3.
Click  Add to add a service. The Block Services Setup screen displays:
4.From the Service Type list, select the application or service to allow or block. The list already 
displays several common services, but you are not limited to these choic\
es. To add any 
additional services or applications that do not already appear, select  User Defined.
5. If you know that the application uses either 
 TCP or UDP, select the appropriate protocol. If 
you are not sure, select Both.
6. Enter the starting and ending port numbers. If the application uses a si\
ngle port number
 , 
enter that number in both fields.
7. Select the radio button for the IP address configuration you want to blo\
ck, and enter the IP 
addresses. 

You can block the specified service for a single computer, a range of computers 
with consecutive IP addresses, or all computers on your network.
8. Click  Add to enable your Block Services Setup selections.
