39 Port Mapping Commands

Port Mapping is a security feature, which controls the peer users from communicating with each other.
Each session comprises a session ID and a set of user ports and/or a set of network ports. The user ports
within a session cannot communicate with each other and can only communicate via network ports. In a
Port Mapping session with user port set A and network port set B, ports in set A can communicate with
ports in set B only. If set B is empty, the ports in set A can communicate with the rest of the ports in the
system.
A port mapping session can be configured in a unidirectional or bidirectional mode. In the unidirectional
mode, the network ports can communicate with each other within the same session. In the bidirectional
mode, the network ports cannot communicate with each other. Network ports of a unidirectional port
mapping session can be shared with other unidirectional sessions, but cannot be shared with any session
configured in bidirectional mode. Network ports of different sessions can communicate with each other.
