Then check out some of those documents and look at securing the router.

Subject: Re: making a router invisible

the requirement is that i want to be able to telnet to the router, but i
want the router to be invisible on the network, i.e.- not show up in port
scans, ping sweeps, foot-printing...that sort of thing.

If IP is turned off in a IP network, what use is the invisible router?
I think I know what you want to do, but you have not given us enough
information to give you a definate answer. We can't assume anything,
especially this group.

Question is, what is your requirement?
