4.5 Forwarding Rules

4.5.1 Virtual Server

This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts

behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them

accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping.

A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the

computer specified by the Server IP.

For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a Web server (port 80) at

192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following virtual

server mapping table:

Service Port Server IP Enable

21 192.168.123.1 V

80 192.168.123.2 V

1723 192.168.123.6 V

4.5.2 Special AP

Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet

telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router.

The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If the

mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work, try setting your computer as the

DMZ host instead.

1. Trigger: the outbound port number issued by the application..

2. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets sent to the specified

port numbers are allowed to pass through the firewall.

This product provides some predefined settings Select your application and click Copy to to add the

predefined setting to your list.

Note! At any given time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel.

4.5.3 Miscellaneous Items

IP Address of DMZ Host

DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of firewall. It allows a computer to be

exposed to unrestricted 2-way communication for Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet

telephony and other special applications.

NOTE: This feature should be used only when needed.

Non-standard FTP port

You have to configure this item if you want to access an FTP server whose port number is not 21. This

setting will be lost after rebooting.

4.6 Security Settings

4.6.1 Packet Filter

Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter applies

on all outbound packets. However, Inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or

DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies:

1. Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules

2. Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules

You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define the

following:

• Source IP address

• Source port address

• Destination IP address

• Destination port address

• Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.

For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1) or a range of IP

addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty implies all IP addresses.

For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). Add

prefix "T" or "U" to specify TCP or UDP protocol. For example, T80, U53, U2000-2999. No prefix

indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses.

Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.

Inbound Filter:

To enable Inbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Inbound

Packet Filter field.

Suppose you have SMTP Server (25), POP Server (110), Web Server (80), FTP

Server (21), and News Server (119) defined in Virtual Server or DMZ Host.

Example 1:

(1.2.3.100-1.2.3.149) They are allow to send mail (port 25), receive mail (port 110),

and browse the Internet (port 80)

(1.2.3.10-1.2.3.20) They can do everything (block nothing)

Others are all blocked.

Example 2:

(1.2.3.100-1.2.3.119) They can do everything except read net news (port 119) and

transfer files via FTP (port 21)

Others are all allowed.

After Inbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button.

4.7.4 Routing Table

Routing Tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing

IP data grams. If you have more than one routers and subnets, you will need to enable routing

table to allow packets to find proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate

with each other.

Routing Table settings are settings used to setup the functions of static and dynamic routing.

Static Routing: For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules. You can

enter the destination IP address, subnet mask, gateway, hop for each routing rule, and

then enable or disable the rule by checking or unchecking the Enable checkbox.

Example:

So if, for example, the host wanted to send an IP data gram to 192.168.3.88, it would use the above

table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.1.33 (a gateway),

And if it sends Packets to 192.168.5.77 will go via 192.168.1.55

Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.

After routing table setting is configured, click the save button.
