CHAPTER 10 Advanced Configuration
IP Passthrough
IP PASSTHROUGH
IP Passthrough enables a host computer on the LAN to have direct access from the WAN with a real public IP address. When IP Passthrough is enabled, all IP traffic is forwarded to the host computer. This can be needed with some software applications that do not function reliably when using Network Address Translation.
Figure 74: IP Passthrough
