1. Select the Protocol that will be used for the connection to be
shared.
2. Specify the port to which the connection from the Internet will be
established.
In the Show more menu area, you can define the port forwarding rule
in more detail:
1. Public port: If the connection on the local network is to be
directed to a different port, uncheck Original here and specify the
port on which the device on the local network will accept the
connection.
2. Remote IP address: If necessary, specify a specific public
IP address here from which connections will be allowed.
Connection attempts from other addresses are then ignored. The
default setting 0.0.0.0 means that no restriction is made.
3. Source zone: Here you can select over which Internet connection
the port forwarding data is received.
Confirm your settings by clicking OK.
10.4.1 Port forwarding with Ipv6 addresses
Basically, the settings you make for port forwarding with IPv6
addresses are the same as with IPv4 addresses. However, there are
the following changes to the configuration page when you select
IPv6 under Type of address:
• Update prefix automatically: An IPv6 address consists of
a prefix assigned by the ISP and a host part that identifies
a specific client. If the provider prefix changes, your device
can update it automatically, and you only need to enter the
client-specific part of the IPv6 address. If you enable this
option, the field for entering the IP address (terminal)
changes so that you do not enter the full IPv6 address.
