Ch 4. Advanced Configurations Configuring LAN to WAN Firewall Filtering function is used to block or permit packets from LAN to WAN. The device supports three kinds of filter Port Filtering, IP Filtering and MAC Filtering. All the entries in current filter table are used to restrict or allow certain types of packets from your local network to through the device. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting your local network.
If you select DROP for the IP forwarding default policy, once the source port of outgoing packets match the port definition or within the port ranges in the table, the firewall will allow those packets form LAN to WAN. IP Filtering When you enable the IP Filtering function, you can specify local IP Addresses in current filter table.
If you select DROP for the IP forwarding default policy, once the source IP address of outgoing packets match the IP address definition in the table, the firewall will allow those packets form LAN to WAN. MAC Filtering When you enable the MAC Filtering function, you Addresses in current filter table. If you select forwarding default policy, once the source MAC packets match the MAC Address definition in the block those packets form LAN to WAN.
If you select DROP for the IP forwarding default policy, once the source MAC Address of outgoing packets match the MAC Address definition in the table, the firewall will allow those packets form LAN to WAN. NAT (Network Address Translation) NAT is the translation between public IP address and private IP address. While NAT is enabling, you can use port forwarding or DMZ to redirect your common network services.
Configuring Port Forwarding (Virtual Server) This function allows you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall. These settings are only necessary if you wish to host some sort of server like a web server or mail server on the private local network behind the device's NAT firewall. The most often used port numbers are shown in the following table.
Configuring DMZ A Demilitarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its local private network. Typically, the DMZ host contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers. So that all inbound packets will be redirected to the computer you set. It also is useful while you run some applications (ex. Internet game) that use uncertain incoming ports.
