General

Pinholes

This feature allows you to:

Transparently route selected types of network traffic using the port for- warding facility.

FTP requests or HTTP (Web) connections are directed to a specific host on your LAN.

Setup multiple pinhole paths.

Up to 32 paths are supported

Identify the type(s) of traffic you want to redirect by port number.

Common TCP/IP protocols and ports are:

FTP (TCP 21)

telnet (TCP 23)

SMTP (TCP 25)

HTTP (TCP 80)

SNMP (TCP 161, UDP 161)

 

See page 47 for How To instructions.

Default Server

This feature allows you to:

Direct your Gateway to forward all externally initiated IP traffic (TCP and UDP protocols only) to a default host on the LAN.

Enable it for certain situations:

Where you cannot anticipate what port number or packet protocol an in-bound application might use.

For example, some network games select arbitrary port numbers when a connection is opened.

When you want all unsolicited traffic to go to a specific LAN host.

Default Server is not available for traffic inbound via a SafeHarbour IPsec tunnel.

See page 56 for How To instructions.
