IP Protocol
The IP Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the service as
TCP, UDP, ICMP or IP.
Traffic that is received by Peplink Balance via the specified protocol at the specified port(s)
is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers setting.
(Please see below for details on the Port and Servers settings.)
Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically
fill in the Protocol and a single Port number of common Internet services (e.g. HTTP,
HTTPS, etc.).
After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the Protocol
and Port number remains manually modifiable.
Port
The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be configured
to behave in one of the following manners:
Any Port, Single Port, Port Range and Port Map
Any Port: All traffic that is received by Peplink Balance via the specified protocol is
forwarded to the servers specified by the Servers setting.
For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Any Port, all TCP traffic is
forwarded to the configured servers.
Single Port: Traffic that is received by Peplink Balance via the specified protocol at the
specified port is forwarded via the same port to the servers specified by the Serve
For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Single Port and Service Port 80,
TCP traffic received on Port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via Port 80.
Port Range: Traffic that is received by Peplink Balance via the specified protocol at the
specified port range is forwarded via the same respective ports to the LAN hosts specified
by the Servers setting.
For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Single Port and Service Port 80-
88, TCP traffic received on ports 80 through 88 is forwarded to the configured servers via
the respective ports.
Port Map: Traffic that is received by Peplink Balance via the specified protocol at the
specified port is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the Servers
setting.
For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Port Map, Service Port 80, and
Map to Port 88, TCP traffic on Port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via Port 88.
(Please see below for details on the Servers setting.)
Inbound IP
Address(es)
This setting specifies the WAN connections and Internet IP address(es) from which the
service can be accessed.
Included Server(s)
This setting specifies the LAN servers that handle requests for the service, and the relative
weight values.
The amount of traffic that is distributed to a server is proportional to the weight value
assigned to the server relative to the total weight.
Example:
With the following weight settings on a Peplink Balance:
demo_server_1: 10
demo_server_2: 5
The total weight is 15 = (10 + 5)
Matching traffic distributed to demo_server_1: 67% = (10 / 15) x 100%
Matching traffic distributed to demo_server_2: 33% = (5 / 15) x 100%
