7.2.4 Port forwarding
Overview
By default, internet users cannot access any service on any of their local hosts. The port forwarding
function enables you to open certain ports of a local host to internet users and allow them to
access the corresponding services. This function can allow access and prevent the local network
from being attacked at the same time.
To access the configuration page, log in to the web UI of the ONT and navigate to Services >
Firewall > Port Forwarding. The rules added are shown in Current Port Forwarding Table.
