ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide

22.5.1 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.

Note: If you do not assign a Default Server IP address, the ZyWALL discards all packets received for ports that are not specified here or in the remote management setup.

22.5.2 Port Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers

The ZyWALL provides the additional safety of the DMZ ports for connecting your publicly accessible servers. This makes the LAN more secure by physically separating it from your public servers.

Use the Port Forwarding screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network.

The most often used port numbers are shown in the following table. Please refer to RFC 1700 for further information about port numbers. Please also refer to the Supporting CD for more examples and details on port forwarding and NAT.

22.5.3 Configuring Servers Behind Port Forwarding (Example)

Let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.
