    Therefore, clients, competing for air time, transmit data in frame bursts. Use this field to determine the maximum number of frames that L13 will allow clients to transmit in a single frame burst. Frame Burst – Burst Time - The maximum length of a frame burst. Limit the time of a frame burst to avoid large frames from taking communication precedence.

    Additional features, including Web site restrictions and access control, can also be configured locally by the user through the L13 WBM or remotely by a service provider. The L13 firewall supports advanced filtering, which is designed to allow control over the firewall's behavior. You can define specific input and output rules, control the order of logically similar sets of rules and make a distinction between rules that apply to WAN and LAN network devices.
  • Page 36 For example, when you point your Web browser to a Web page on the Internet, a request is sent out to the Internet for this page. When the request reaches the L13, the firewall will identify the request type and origin—HTTP and a specific PC in your home network in this case.

    For example, you have a Web server running on your PC on port 8080 and you want to grant access to this server to anyone who accesses L13 via HTTP. To accomplish this, you will have to define a port forwarding rule for the HTTP service, with the PC's IP or host name, as well as specify 8080 in the Forward to Port field.

If you wish to redirect traffic to a different port, select the Specify option in the Forward to Port drop-down menu. The screen refreshes, and an additional field appears, enabling you to enter the port number.
  • Page 42: Dmz Host

    An incoming request for access to a service in the local network, such as a Web server, is fielded by the L13. The L13 will forward this request to the DMZ host (if one is designated) unless the service is being provided by another PC in the local network (assigned in Port Forwarding), in which case that PC will receive the request instead.

  • Page 47: Network Address Translation (Nat)

    LAN IP address will be translated to which NAT IP address and/or ports. By default, the L13 operates in NAPT routing mode (refer to Section 3.7.1.8.1). However, you can control your network translation by defining static NAT/NAPT rules. Such rules map LAN computers to NAT IP addresses. The NAT/NAPT mechanism is useful for managing Internet usage in your LAN and for complying with various application demands.

    DHCP clients to the local network. It provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses and delivering network configuration parameters to such hosts. L13 default DHCP server is the LAN bridge. A client (host) sends out a broadcast message on the LAN requesting an IP address for itself. The DHCP server then checks its list of available addresses and leases a local IP address to the host for a specific period of time while simultaneously designating this IP address as `taken'.
