4.5 Forwarding Rules

32

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

33

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.

Special Applications

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
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.

UPnP Setting

Allows user to enable or disable UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) function.

4.6 Security Settings

36

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

37

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)

38

4.6.5 VPN setting

VPN Settings are settings that are used to create virtual private tunnels to remote VPN gateways. The
tunnel technology supports data confidentiality, data origin authentication and data integrity of network
information by utilizing encapsulation protocols, encryption algorithms, and hashing algorithms.

VPN enable item

•

VPN protects network information from ill network inspectors. But it greatly degrades network throughput.
Enable it when you really need a security tunnel. It is disabled for default.

• Max. number of tunnels item

Since VPN greatly degrades network throughput, the allowable maximum number of tunnels is limited.
Be careful to set the value for allowing the number of tunnels can be created simultaneously. Its value
ranges from 1 to 5.

• Tunnel name

Indicate which tunnel that is focused now.

• Method

IPSec VPN supports two kinds of key-obtained methods: manual key and automatic key exchange.
Manual key approach indicates that two end VPN gateways setup authenticator and encryption key by
system managers manually. However, IKE approach will perform automatic Internet key exchange.

48

System managers of both end gateways only need set the same pre-shared key.

VPN Settings - IKE

There are three parts that are necessary to setup the configuration of IKE for the dedicated tunnel: basic
setup, IKE proposal setup, and IPSec proposal setup.
Basic setup includes the setting of following items: local subnet, local netmask, remote subnet, remote
netmask, remote gateway, and pre-shared key. The tunnel name is derived from previous page of VPN
setting. IKE proposal setup includes the setting of a set of frequent-used IKE proposals and the
selecting from the set of IKE proposals. Similarly, IPSec proposal setup includes the setting of a set of
frequent-used IPSec proposals and the selecting from the set of IPSec proposals.

- Basic setup:

Local subnet

The subnet of LAN site of local VPN gateway. It can be a host, a partial subnet, and the whole subnet
of LAN site of local gateway.
