Action

You have the following options:

Add

Add a firewall rule.

Edit

Make changes to a firewall rule. Click Save to save

your changes.

Del

Delete a firewall rule.

Static Routes

(Available in Advanced view.) You can manually add
static routing rules to the system routing table; you can
set a rule that a specific target IP address (or range of IP
addresses) passes through a specific gateway. Click the +
button to display the Static Routes section.

Enabled

Enables the specific static route. All the added

static routes are saved in the system configuration file;
however, only the enabled static routes are active on the
device.

Target Network IP

Specify the IP address of the

destination.

Netmask

Specify the netmask of the destination.

Gateway IP

Specify the IP address of the gateway.

Comment

You can enter a brief description of the

purpose for the static route.

Action

You have the following options:

Add

Add a static route.

Edit

Make changes to a static route. Click Save to save

your changes.

Del

Delete a static route.

Port Forwarding

Port forwarding allows specific ports of the hosts on the
local network to be forwarded to the external network
(WAN). This is useful for a number of applications (such
as FTP servers, VoIP, gaming) that require different host
systems to be seen using a single common IP address/
port. Click the + button to display the Port Forwarding
section.

Enabled

Enables the specific port forwarding rule. All

the added port forwarding rules are saved in the system
configuration file; however, only the enabled port
forwarding rules are active on the device.

Private IP

The IP address of the local host that needs to

be accessible from the external network.

Private Port

The TCP or UDP port of the application

running on the local host. The specified port will be
accessible from the external network.

Type

The Layer 3 protocol (IP) type that needs to be

forwarded from the local network.

Source IP/mask

The IP address and netmask of the

source device.

Public IP/mask

The public IP address and netmask of the

device that will accept and forward the connections from
the external network to the local host.

Public Port

The TCP or UDP port of the device that will

accept and forward the connections from the external
network to the local host.

Comment

Enter a brief description of the port

forwarding functionality, such as FTP server, web server, or
game server.

Action

You have the following options:

Add

Add a port forwarding rule.

Edit

Make changes to a port forwarding rule. Click Save

to save your changes.

Del

Delete a port forwarding rule.

Multicast Routing Settings

With a multicast design, applications can send one copy
of each packet and address it to a group of computers
that want to receive it. This technique addresses packets
to a group of receivers rather than to a single receiver. It
relies on the network to forward the packets to the hosts
that need to receive them. Common routers isolate all
the broadcast (thus multicast) traffic between the local
and external networks; however, the device can provide
multicast traffic pass-through functionality.

Multicast Routing

Enables multicast packet pass-through

between local and external networks while the device is
operating in Router mode. Multicast intercommunication
is based on Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).

Multicast Upstream

Specify the source of multicast

traffic.

Multicast Downstream

Specify the destination(s) of

multicast traffic.

Add

Add a destination.

Del

Delete a destination.
