3.6.3 MAC Filtering
Entries in this table are used to restrict certain types of data packets from your local network to
Internet through the Gateway. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting your
local network.
3.6.4 Port Forwarding
Entries in this table allow you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific
machine behind the NAT firewall. These settings are only necessary if you wish to host some
sort of server like a web server or mail server on the private local network behind your
Gateway’s NAT firewall.
