Table 18-2 UPnP Ports

 

 

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

#

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.

 

 

Internal Client

This field displays the DNS host name or IP address of a client on the LAN. Multiple

 

NAT clients can use a single port simultaneously if the internal client field is set to

 

255.255.255.255 for UDP mappings.

 

 

Enabled

This field displays whether or not this UPnP-created NAT mapping rule is turned on.

 

The UPnP-enabled device that connected to the ZyWALL and configured the UPnP-

 

created NAT mapping rule on the ZyWALL determines whether or not the rule is

 

enabled.

 

 

Description

This field displays a text explanation of the NAT mapping rule.

 

 

Lease Duration

This field displays a dynamic port-mapping rule’s time to live (in seconds). It displays

 

“0” if the port mapping is static.
