DESCRIPTION

Reserve UPnP

Select this check box to have the ZyWALL retain UPnP created NAT rules even

NAT rules in flash

after restarting. If you use UPnP and you set a port on your computer to be fixed

after system

for a specific service (for example FTP for file transfers), this option allows the

bootup

ZyWALL to keep a record when your computer uses UPnP to create a NAT

 

forwarding rule for that service.

 

 

The following read-only table displays information about the UPnP-created NAT mapping rule entries in the ZyWALL’s NAT routing table.

#

This is the index number of the UPnP-created NAT mapping rule entry.

 

 

Remote Host

This field displays the source IP address (on the WAN) of inbound IP packets.

 

Since this is often a wildcard, the field may be blank. When the field is blank, the

 

ZyWALL forwards all traffic sent to the External Port on the WAN interface to the

 

Internal Client on the Internal Port. When this field displays an external IP

 

address, the NAT rule has the ZyWALL forward inbound packets to the Internal

 

Client from that IP address only.

External Port

This field displays the port number that the ZyWALL “listens” on (on the WAN port)

 

for connection requests destined for the NAT rule’s Internal Port and Internal

 

Client. The ZyWALL forwards incoming packets (from the WAN) with this port

 

number to the Internal Client on the Internal Port (on the LAN). If the field

 

displays “0”, the ZyWALL ignores the Internal Port value and forwards requests

 

on all external port numbers (that are otherwise unmapped) to the Internal Client.

Protocol

This field displays the protocol of the NAT mapping rule (TCP or UDP).

 

 

Internal Port

This field displays the port number on the Internal Client to which the ZyWALL

 

should forward incoming connection requests.
