  • Page 35: Virtual Server

    4.5.1 Virtual Server This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping. A virtual server is defined as a Public Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the Private Port of assigned computer specified by the Server IP.
  • Page 36 The Private port is used for multi-computers, which might use the same service. For example, if you setup three Web server(80) in your LAN, which are 192.168.123.7, 192.168.123.10, and 192.168.123.77. You can assign different public port to different IP. The public port can be set at any port.

  • Page 37: Special Ap

    4.5.2 Special AP Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work, try setting your computer as the DMZ host instead.

However, Inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies: 1.
  • Page 41 addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty implies all IP addresses. For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). Add prefix "T" or "U" to specify TCP or UDP protocol. For example, T80, U53, U2000-2999. No prefix indicates both TCP and UDP are defined.
  • Page 42 Example 2: (1.2.3.100-1.2.3.119) They can do everything except read net news (port 119) and transfer files via FTP (port 21) Others are all allowed. After Inbound Packet Filter setting is configured, click the save button.

Log DNS Query Check if you want to log the action when someone accesses the specific URLs. Privilege IP Addresses Range Setting a group of hosts and privilege these hosts to access network without restriction.
  • Page 46 Example: In this example: 1. URL include “www.msn.com” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file. 2. URL include “www.sina.com” will not be blocked, but the action will be record in log-file. 3. URL include “www.google.com” will be blocked, but the action will not be record in log-file. IP address X.X.X.1~ X.X.X.20 can access network without restriction.

  • Page 47: Url Blocking

    4.6.3 URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect to pre-defined Websites. The major difference between “Domain filter” and “URL Blocking” is Domain filter require user to input suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking require user to input a keyword only. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword.
  • Page 48 In this example: 1.URL include “msn” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file. 2.URL include “sina” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file 3.URL include “cnnsi” will be blocked, and the action will be record in log-file. 4.

    4.7.5 Routing Table Routing Tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. If you have more than one routers and subnets, you will need to enable routing table to allow packets to find proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other. Routing Table settings are settings used to setup the functions of static.
  • Page 61 Example: Configuration on NAT Router Destination 192.168.1.0 192.168.0.0 So if, for example, the client3 wanted to send an IP data gram to 192.168.0.2, it would use the above table to determine that it had to go via 192.168.123.103 (a gateway), And if it sends Packets to 192.168.1.11 will go via 192.168.123.216 Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
