CHAPTER 23
HTTP Redirect
This chapter shows you how to configure HTTP redirection on your Zyxel Device.
23.1 HTTP Redirect Overview
HTTP redirect forwards the client’s HTTP request (except HTTP traffic destined for the Zyxel Device) to a
web proxy server.
23.1.1 Web Proxy Server
A proxy server helps client devices make indirect requests to access the Internet or outside network
resources/services. A proxy server can act as a firewall or an ALG (application layer gateway) between
the private network and the Internet or other networks. It also keeps hackers from knowing internal IP
addresses.
23.2 HTTP Redirect Commands
The following table identifies the values required for many of these commands. Other input values are
discussed with the corresponding commands.
Table 103 Input Values for HTTP Redirect Commands
LABEL DESCRIPTION
description
The name to identify the rule. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_),
or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive.
interface_name
The name of the interface.
Ethernet interface: For some Zyxel Device models, use gex, x = 1 - N, where N equals the
highest numbered Ethernet interface for your Zyxel Device model.
For other Zyxel Device models use a name such as wan1, wan2, opt, lan1, or dmz.
virtual interface on top of Ethernet interface: add a colon (:) and the number of the virtual
interface. For example: gex:y, x = 1 - N, y = 1 - 4
VLAN interface: vlanx, x = 0 - 4094
virtual interface on top of VLAN interface: vlanx:y, x = 0 - 4094, y = 1 - 4
bridge interface: brx, x = 0 - N, where N depends on the number of bridge interfaces your
Zyxel Device model supports.
virtual interface on top of bridge interface: brx:y, x = the number of the bridge interface, y
= 1 - 4
PPPoE/PPTP interface: pppx, x = 0 - N, where N depends on the number of PPPoE/PPTP
interfaces your Zyxel Device model supports.
