Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding
To add a port forwarding rule:
- Follow the Firewall
- Port Forwards
menus. Port forwarding rules can assign a specific port number of the WAN network to a device belonging to the selected internal network.
| Parameter | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Rule Name | Null |
| Protocol | TCP+UDP/TCP/UDP | TCP+UDP |
| External zone | wan | wan |
| External Port | This can be a port or a range of ports, for example, 8000-9000. When both external and internal ports are empty, this indicates a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) function. | Null |
| Internal Zone | lan | lan |
| Internal IP address | Device's IP address | Null |
| Internal Port | This can be a port or a range of ports, for example, 8000-9000. When both external and internal ports are empty, this indicates a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) function. | Null |
NAT DMZ
While port forwarding rules direct a specified WAN port to an internal network device, DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) rules direct all ports belonging to the WAN interface to an internal network device. DMZ rules are set in the port forwarding interface, and in DMZ mode, there is no need to set external and internal ports.
All ports belonging to the WAN address will be directed to the internal network device 192.168.1.110.
- Port forwarding and DMZ cannot be used simultaneously.
