4.5 Forwarding Rules

4.5.1 Virtual Server

21

This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping.

A virtual server is defined as a Service Port , and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP . Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules , and give user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule .

For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a Web server (port 80) at

192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following virtual server mapping table:

Service Port Server IP Enable

1723 192.168.123.6 V

22

4.5.2 Special AP

Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router.

The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work, try setting your computer as the

DMZ host instead.

1. Trigger : the outbound port number issued by the application..

2. Incoming Ports : when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets sent to the specified port numbers are allowed to pass through the firewall.

This product provides some predefined settings Select your application and click Copy to to add the predefined setting to your list.

Note! At any given time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel.

23

4.5.3 Miscellaneous Items

IP Address of DMZ Host

DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of firewall. It allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way communication for Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and other special applications.

NOTE: This feature should be used only when needed.

Non-standard FTP port

You have to configure this item if you want to access an FTP server whose port number is not 21. This setting will be lost after rebooting.

24

4.6 Security Settings

25

4.6.1 Packet Filter

Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter applies on all outbound packets. However, Inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or

DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies:

1. Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules

2. Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules

You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define the following:

•

Source IP address

•

Source port address

•

Destination IP address

•

Destination port address

•

Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.

•

Use Rule#

For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1) or a range of IP addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty implies all IP addresses.

26

For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). Add prefix "T" or "U" to specify TCP or UDP protocol. For example, T80, U53, U2000-2999. No prefix indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses. Packet Filter can work with Scheduling Rules , and give user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to

Scheduling Rule .

Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.

Inbound Filter:

To enable Inbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Inbound Packet Filter field.

Suppose you have SMTP Server (25), POP Server (110), Web Server (80), FTP Server (21), and News

Server (119) defined in Virtual Server or DMZ Host.

Example 1:

(1.2.3.100-1.2.3.149) They are allow to send mail (port 25), receive mail (port 110), and browse the

Internet (port 80)

(1.2.3.10-1.2.3.20) They can do everything (block nothing)

27

Others are all blocked.

Example 2:

(1.2.3.100-1.2.3.119) They can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP

(port 21)

Others are all allowed.

After Inbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button.

Outbound Filter:

To enable Outbound Packet Filter click the check box next to Enable in the Outbound Packet

Filter field.

28

Example 1:

(192.168.123.100-192.168.123.149) They are allowed to send mail (port 25), receive mail (port 110), and browse Internet (port 80); port 53 (DNS) is necessary to resolve the domain name.

(192.168.123.10-192.168.123.20) They can do everything (block nothing)

Others are all blocked.

29

Example 2:

(192.168.123.100-192.168.123.119) They can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP (port 21)

Others are allowed

After Outbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button.

Action

When someone is accessing the URL met the domain-suffix, what kind of action you want.

Check drop to block the access. Check log to log these access.

Enable

Check to enable each rule.

31

Example:

In this example:

1. URL include “www.msn.com” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file.

2. URL include “www.sina.com” will not be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file.

3. URL include “www.google.com” will be blocked, but the action will not be record in log-file.

4. IP address X.X.X.1~ X.X.X.20 can access network without restriction.

32

4.6.3 URL Blocking

URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect to pre-defined Websites.

The major difference between “Domain filter” and “URL Blocking” is Domain filter require user to input suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking require user to input a keyword only. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword .

URL Blocking Enable

Checked if you want to enable URL Blocking.

URL

If any part of the Website's URL matches the pre-defined word, the connection will be blocked.

For example, you can use pre-defined word "sex" to block all websites if their URLs contain pre-defined word "sex".

Enable

Checked to enable each rule.

33

In this example:

1.URL include “msn” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file.

2.URL include “sina” will be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file

3.URL include “cnnsi” will not be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file.

4. URL include “espn” will be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file

34

4.6.4 MAC Address Control

Routing Tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. If you have more than one routers and subnets, you will need to enable routing table to allow packets to find proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other.

Routing Table settings are settings used to setup the functions of static.

Static Routing : For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules. You can enter the destination

IP address, subnet mask, gateway, hop for each routing rule, and then enable or disable the rule by checking or unchecking the Enable checkbox.

45

Example:

Configuration on NAT Router

Destination SubnetMask Gateway Hop Enabled

192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.123.216 1 ˇ

192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.123.103 1 ˇ

So if, for example, the client3 wanted to send an IP data gram to 192.168.0.2, it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.123.103 (a gateway),

And if it sends Packets to 192.168.1.11 will go via 192.168.123.216

Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.

After routing table setting is configured, click the save button.
