Port Forwarding Overview

Port forwarding allows you to forward incoming traffic from the outside network, to a range of WAN ports on an IP address on the LAN. You can also enable traffic from local network to a specified port range to be allowed to go outside of the network in medium firewall settings.

All the settings on this page are associated with a Service Profile in the Current Profile

drop-down list. If no profile has been created, the default profile is used. To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.

You usually can determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the relevant user groups or news groups.

A typical application of port forwarding occurs when a remote computer

access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using port forwarding, you can tell the gateway, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at 192.168.1.123.” sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined:

The following

Control Access to the Internet

DRAFT

1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from

www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your gateway. The remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information:

Destination address. The IP address www.example.com, which is the gateway’s address. Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process. The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your

gateway.

2. Y

our gateway receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your gateway modifies the destination information in the request message:

The destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.123. Your gateway then sends this request message to your local network.

our web server at 192.168.1.123 receives the request and composes a return message with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends the gateway a reply message.

4. Y

our gateway performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com.

Port Forwarding to Permit External Host Communications

In both the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally , your gateway ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature.

A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computer browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using port forwarding, you can tell the gateway, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at

192.168.1.123.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined:

1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from

.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your gateway. The

www remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information:

Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your gateway.

Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.

To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. T o find out, contact the publisher of the application or the relevant user groups or news groups.

Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers

Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.

Use the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page to configure the gateway to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded.

Before starting, you need to determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide, and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. computer has to always have the same IP address.

Dynamic DNS

Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each Internet account. Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means that the IP address can change at any time. You can use the IP address to access your network remotely, but most people don’t know what their IP addresses are or when this number changes.

To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service that lets you use a domain name to access your home network. the gateway to use Dynamic DNS. Then the gateway notifies the Dynamic DNS service provider whenever its IP address changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS account, the service finds the current IP address of your home network and automatically connects you.

If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
