Enable IP Forwarding Use this function to allow a device on the D400's first network interface
(eth0) to communicate with devices coming in on a second network
interface (eth1) or a dial up connection. This configuration is only possible if
the D400 has two Ethernet interfaces and/or uses PPP dial-in.
Note
: You cannot enable this feature when the D400 firewall is enabled.
Enable ICMP Echo
Use this function to enable the ICMP echo (ping) feature which helps secure

be pinged on any interface.
ICMP can be enabled by the administrator.
