18 Port Forwarding
Pepwave routers can act as a firewall that blocks, by default, all inbound access from the
Internet. By using port forwarding, Internet users can access servers behind the Pepwave
router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at Advanced>Port Forwarding.
To define a new service, click Add Service.
Port Forwarding Settings
Enable
This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect. When Enable
is
checked, the inbound service takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by
the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. When this setting is
disabled, the inbound service does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards
other parameters of the rule.
Service Name
This setting identifies the service to the system administrator. Valid values for this
setting consist of only alphanumeric and underscore “_” characters.
IP Protocol
The IP Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the serv
ice
as TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by the Pepwave router 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
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 remain manually modifiable.
