Chapter 6: Configure the Firewall Settings

Create an Unrestricted Pass Through

The SOHO 6 is able to allow traffic to be passed through to a dedicated machine with a public IP address separated from the rest of the Trusted network.

Follow these steps to configure a pass through:

1With your Web browser, go to the System Status page using the

Trusted IP address of the SOHO 6.

For example, if using the default IP address, go to: http://192.168.111.1

2From the navigation bar on the left side, select

Firewall => Pass Through.

The Unrestricted Pass Through IP Address page appears.

3Select Enable pass through address.

4Enter the IP address to the pass through machine in the

appropriate field. This must be a public IP address.

In our example, 208.253.208.103.

5Click Submit.

NOTE

Use of the Pass Through feature increases the security risk to computers on the Trusted network. This is because the computer using the Pass Through resides on the same Ethernet segment as the Trusted network. If you are not completely and thoroughly familiar with the risks involved
