LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Type | Choose the port mapping type from one of the following. |
| 1. |
| address. Note that port numbers do not change for |
| type. |
| 2. |
| global IP address. This is equivalent to SUA (i.e., PAT, port address translation), |
| ZyXEL's Single User Account feature. |
| 3. |
| IP addresses to shared global IP addresses. |
| 4. Many |
| unique global IP addresses. |
| 5. Server: This type allows you to specify inside servers of different services |
| behind the NAT to be accessible to the outside world. |

|
Local Start IP | This is the starting Inside Local IP Address (ILA). Local IP addresses are N/A for |
| Server port mapping. |
|
|
Local End IP | This is the end Inside Local IP Address (ILA). If your rule is for all local IP |
| addresses, then enter 0.0.0.0 as the Local Start IP address and 255.255.255.255 |
| as the Local End IP address. |
| This field is N/A for |
|
|
Global Start IP | This is the starting Inside Global IP Address (IGA). Enter 0.0.0.0 here if you have |
| a dynamic IP address from your ISP. |

Global End IP | This is the ending Inside Global IP Address (IGA). This field is N/A for |

17.5 Port Forwarding
A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make visible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single computer to the outside world.
You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. You can allocate a server IP address that corresponds to a port or a range of ports.
Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.
17.5.1 Default Server IP Address
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server IP address. A default server receives packets from ports that are not specified in this screen.
