Chapter 5 Router Mode Security Setup This section contains configurations for the GS293d’s advanced functions such as: virtual server, DMZ, and Firewall to provide your network under a security environment. 5.1.1 Virtual Server The Virtual Server feature allows users to create Virtual Servers by re-directing a particular range of service port numbers (from the WAN port) to a particular LAN IP address.
Page 49
5.1.2 Virtual DMZ The DMZ feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for special-purpose applications like Internet gaming or videoconferencing. When enabled, this feature opens all ports to a single station and hence renders that system exposed to intrusion from outside. The port forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports required by that application.

5.2.1 Port Filtering When enabled packets are denied access to Internet/filtered based on their port address. Item Description Enable Port Filtering Select Enable Port Filtering to filter ports. Port Range Enter the port number that needs to be filtered. Protocol Please select the protocol type of the port.
