Host 3. MAC address (00:01:02:03:04:07) and IP address (192.168.10.12)
There are three possible scenarios in relation to the addresses in the IP/MAC Bindings table:
Host 1 has not changed its IP and MAC addresses. A packet coming from Host 1 has IP
and MAC addresses that match those in the IP/MAC Bindings table.
Host 2 has changed its MAC address to 00:01:02:03:04:09. The packet has an IP
address that matches the IP address in the IP/MAC Bindings table but a MAC address
that does not match the MAC address in the IP/MAC Bindings table.
Host 3 has changed its IP address to 192.168.10.15. The packet has a MAC address that
matches the MAC address in the IP/MAC Bindings table but an IP address that does not
match the IP address in the IP/MAC Bindings table.
In this example, the wireless VPN firewall blocks the traffic coming from Host 2 and Host 3,
but allows the traffic coming from Host 1 to any external network. The total count of dropped
packets is displayed.
IPv4/MAC Bindings
To set up a binding between a MAC address and an IPv4 address:
1.
Select

.
In the upper right of the screen,
the IPv4 radio button is selected by default. The IP/MAC Binding screen displays the
IPv4 settings. (The following figure shows a binding in the IP/MAC Binding table as an
example.)

3.
Click
Apply
to save your changes. The modified IP/MAC binding displays in the IP/MAC
Bindings table.
To remove one or more IP/MAC bindings from the table:

Configure Port Triggering
Port triggering allows some applications running on a LAN network to be available to external
applications that would otherwise be partially blocked by the firewall. Using the port-triggering
feature requires that you know the port numbers used by the application.
Note:
Port triggering is supported for IPv4 devices only.
Once configured, port triggering operates as follows:
1.
A computer makes an outgoing connection using a port number that is defined in the
Port Triggering Rules table.
2.
The wireless VPN firewall records this connection, opens the additional incoming port or
ports that are associated with the rule in the port triggering table, and associates them with
the computer.
3.
The remote system receives the computer’s request and responds using the incoming port
or ports that are associated with the rule in the port triggering table on the wireless VPN
firewall.
4.
The wireless VPN firewall matches the response to the previous request and forwards the
response to the computer.
Without port triggering, the response from the external application would be treated as a new
connection request rather than a response to a request from the LAN network. As such, it
would be handled in accordance with the inbound port-forwarding rules, and most likely
would be blocked.
