Redirects to the entire subnet to a new gateway.
It sounds evil to me.
Got packets? 30 or 40 would be nice. Maybe 20 from one machine and 20 from another?

You may also want to look at this site as it addresses a barricade issue.

Coupled with this vulnerability your routers might be compromised:(

The default is a blank/empty password. 
Important Note: Different versions of the SMC routers default to different passwords. The default password may also be 1234, 12345, admin, or password.
