Port Forwarding

The SBG900 opens logical data ports when a computer on its LAN sends data, such as e-mail messages or Web data, to the Internet. A logical data port is different from a physical port, such as an Ethernet port. Data from a protocol must go through certain data ports.

Some applications, such as games and videoconferencing, require multiple data ports. If you enable NAT, this can cause problems because NAT assumes that data sent through one port will return to the same port. You may need to configure port forwarding to run applications with special requirements.

To configure port forwarding, you specify an inbound (source) port or range of ports that remain open for inbound data. You can configure up to 32 port forwarding entries using the Gateway > PORT FORWARDING — config Page.

Virtual Private Networks

The SBG900 supports multiple tunnel VPN pass-throughoperation to securely connect remote computers over the Internet. The SBG900:

•

Is compatible with Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)

Is fully interoperable with any IPSec client or gateway and ANX certified IPSec stacks
