Port Forwarding

To add a port forwarding rule:

1. Click

VPN

SSL VPN

Resources

2. Click

Add New Rule

under either

Port Forwarding List for Configured Applications

(TCP Port) or under

Port Forwarding List for Configured Host Names

(FQDN).

3. Enter the IP address of the local server.
4. Next enter either the TCP port number or the domain name (FQDN).
5. Click

Save

Port forwarding allows remote SSL users to access specified network applications or services after they login to

the User Portal and launch the Port Forwarding service. Traffic from the remote user to the switch is detected and

re-routed based on configured port forwarding rules.

Internal host servers or TCP applications must be specified as being made accessible to remote users. Allowing

access to a LAN server requires entering the local server IP address and TCP port number of the application to be

tunnelled.
