6.36.2 - Optionally Allowing Outbound Access
Outbound access describes IP packet connections from hosts on a higher security network to hosts
on a lower security network. Depending on your network, this may not be necessary.
Tip:
Outbound access allows specific devices, that have a private IP address within the higher
security private Local Area Network (LAN), to connect to remote devices on a lower security network
that would otherwise not be routable from the higher security network.
Allowing outbound access can be achieved through applying a custom outbound NAT rule that
allows translation and an optional access rule to permit IP packets for a specific address and port
pair (Inside IP Address, Inside IP Port) on the higher security network to be redirected to a specific
address or range of address and a specific port or range of ports on the lower security network
(Outside IP Address, Outside IP Port).
To provision a custom Outbound NAT Rule
Complete these steps in order to provision a custom outbound NAT rule.
1.
Open a browser or similar application to open your networking gateway's configuration page.
2.
If authentication is enabled on your networking gateway provide the correct credentials to
continue.
3.
Find the Port Redirection configuration setting. Each networking gateway will be slightly unique.
The port redirection configurations settings may be labeled "Port Forwarding", "NAT access
configuration", "Virtual Servers", or under "Advanced Settings".
4.
Create a custom entry:
•
Enter a name for the mapping.
•
Choose the protocol type. For OneBlox Mesh connections this should be TCP.
•
Select the Internal and External ports you wish to map. For OneBlox nodes the internal port
40000 is used.
•
Select the Internal and External IP addresses you wish to map.
