Inbound Access
16.1
Port Forwarding Service
Pepwave routers can act as a firewall that blocks, by default, all inbound access from
the Internet. By using port forwarding, Internet users can access servers behind the
Pepwave router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at
Advanced>Port
Forwarding
.
To define a new service, click
Add Service
.
Port Forwarding Settings
Enable
This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect. When
Enable
is checked, the
inbound service takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave router
based on the other parameters of the rule. When this setting is disabled, the inbound service
does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the other parameters of the rule.
Service
Name
This setting identifies the service to the system administrator. Valid values for this setting
consist of only alphanumeric and underscore “_” characters.
IP Protocol
The
IP Protocol
setting, along with the
Port
setting, specifies the protocol of the service as
TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol
at the specified port(s) is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the
Servers
setting. Please
see below for details on the
Port
and
Servers
settings. Alternatively, the
Protocol Selection
Tool
drop-down menu can be used to automatically fill in the protocol and a single port number
of common Internet services (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, etc.). After selecting an item from the
Protocol Selection Tool
drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remain manually
modifiable.
