WAN Interface

Select this option to have the ZyWALL send all of a local computer’s traffic through

to Local Host

the same WAN interface for the period of time that you specify (1 to 600 seconds).

Mapping

This is useful when a redirect server forwards a local user’s request for a file and

Timeout

informs the file server that a particular WAN IP address is requesting the file. If the

 

user’s subsequent sessions came from a different WAN IP address, the file server

 

would deny the request.
