Link Default Server

Response

Description

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.
