Forwarding
This page allows you to configure the Forwarding and DMZ (De-Militarized Zone)
features. Unlike Filter which governs outgoing traffic, Forwarding is used to
provide external access to your local computers. This is commonly used when you
have publicly accessible virtual servers on your local network.
By default, forwarding entry is empty and any external access to your LAN is
blocked. Once you define a forwarding entry, incoming packets (identified by port
number) that match your Forwarding criteria will be forwarded to the port range of
the specified local computer. Otherwise packets are blocked. Forwarding protects
your network from hazardous packets.
However, if you designate a DMZ sever, incoming packets that do not match the
forwarding criteria will be redirected to the DMZ IP address. Forwarding has a
higher priority than DMZ.
NOTE: The wrong Port Forwarding setting could allow unauthorized
access to the LAN. Please be careful when you make Port Forwarding
settings.
Setting Up Forwarding Entries
To set up your forwarding entries, enter the following fields:
DMZ IP Address: DMZ setting allows a local computer to be exposed to the
Internet. If you specify a DMZ host, all virtual service requests not specified in the
Forwarding table are forwarded to the DMZ host.
