514 Advanced Configurations Configuring LAN to WAN Firewall Filtering function is used to block 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 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. Port Filtering When you enable the Port Filtering function, you can specify a single port or port ranges in current filter table. Once the source port of outgoing packets match the port definition or within the port ranges in the table, the firewall will block those packets from LAN to WAN. IP Filtering When you enable the IP Filtering function, you can specify local IP Addresses in current filter table. Once the source IP address of outgoing packets match the IP Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this packet from LAN to WAN.
52MAC Filtering When you enable the MAC Filtering function, you can specify the MAC Addresses in current filter table. Once the source MAC Address of outgoing packets match the MAC Addresses in the table, the firewall will block this packet from LAN to WAN. Configuring Port Forwarding (VirtualʳServer)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.
53Multiple Servers behind NAT Example: In this case, there are two PCs in the local network accessible for outside users.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. ˯
54Enable DMZ: Enable the “Enable DMZ”, and then click “Apply Changes” button to save the changes. DMZ Host IP Address: Input the IP Address of the computer that you want to expose to Internet. Configuring WAN Interface The device supports four kinds of IP configuration for WAN interface, including Static IP, DHCP Client, PPPoE and PPTP.
