29 Port Mapping Commands

Port Mapping is a security feature that controls communication between peer users. Each session
comprises of 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 through 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
that is configured in bidirectional mode. Network ports of different sessions can communicate with each
other.
