New Forwarding
Menu
Use this menu to control how traffic is forwarded
through the router. These features are available
under the Forwarding menu:
-Services:
Use this enhancement to define a
network service (e.g., web server, FTP and email
server) between the client and server nodes on your
network. When you create a service, you will be
allowed to forward public services inward to the
internal (privately addressed) servers on your
network.
-Address Sharing:
This enhancement allows an
administrator to share a public IP address with
privately addressed network nodes.
-Internal Servers:
The enhancement allows an
administrator to make a service available from an
IP address, even though the owner of the IP
address may not be actually providing the service.
-1:1 NAT:
This enhancement allows an
administrator to statically map a public IP address
to the private IP address of one of the nodes on
your network. This is useful when trying to preserve
a limited number of public IP addresses on the
WAN network.
-IP Sessions:
The SPEEDLAN 9000 firewall offers
stateful packet filtering. IP Sessions allows you to
view sessions whose state is currently active.
For more information on these enhancements, see
Forwarding Menu, page 3-48.
