case all other devices can access the network)

Allow the devices on the list to access the network (in which case no other

devices can access the network)

4.1.5

IP FILTERING

IP filtering allows you to prevent computers on the LAN from sending certain types of

data to the WAN. You can use this to prevent unwanted outgoing communications.

Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN from which you want to prevent

communications, and specify the port range of the communications you want to

prevent. The BVW-3653 discards outgoing data packets that match the criteria you

specified.

4.1.6

PORT FORWARDING

Port forwarding allows a computer on your LAN to receive specific communications

from the WAN. Typically, this is used to allow certain applications (such as gaming)

through the firewall, for a specific computer on the LAN. Port forwarding is also

commonly used for running a public HTTP server from a private network.

You can set up a port forwarding rule for each application for which you want to open

ports in the firewall. When the BVW-3653 receives incoming traffic from the WAN

with a destination port that matches a port forwarding rule, it forwards the traffic to the

LAN IP address and port number specified in the port forwarding rule.

NOTE:

For information on the ports you need to open for a particular application,

consult that application’s documentation.

4.1.7

PORT TRIGGERING

Port triggering is a means of automating port forwarding. The BVW-3653 scans

outgoing traffic (from the LAN to the WAN) to see if any of the traffic’s destination

ports match those specified in the port triggering rules you configure. If any of the

ports match, the BVW-3653 automatically opens the incoming ports specified in the

rule, in anticipation of incoming traffic.

4.1.8

DMZ

In networking, the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) is a part of your LAN that has been

isolated from the rest of the LAN, and opened up to the WAN. The term comes from

the military designation for a piece of territory, usually located between two opposing

forces, that is isolated from both and occupied by neither.
