2.
The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this
entry in the
Port Triggering
table, and associates them with the local host.
3.
When necessary, the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the
ports defined in the
Incoming Ports
field.
Note:
1.
When the trigger connection is released, the corresponding opened ports will be closed.
2.
Each rule can only be used by one host on the LAN at a time. The trigger connection of other
hosts on the LAN will be refused.
3.
Incoming Ports
ranges cannot overlap each other.
4.10.3 DMZ
Choose menu “
Forwarding
DMZ
”, and then you can view and configure DMZ host in the screen
(shown in
Figure 4-53
).The DMZ host feature allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet
for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. The router forwards
packets of all services to the DMZ host. Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its
DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static IP Address assigned to it because its
IP Address may be changed when using the DHCP function.

DMZ
To assign a computer or server to be a DMZ server:
1. Click the
Enable
button.
2.
Enter the IP address of a local PC that is set to be DMZ host in the
DMZ Host IP Address
field.
3. Click the
Save
button.
4.10.4 UPnP
Choose menu “
Forwarding
UPnP
”, and then you can view the information about
UPnP
in the
screen (shown in
Figure 4-54
). The
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
feature allows the devices,
such as Internet computers, to access the local host resources or devices as needed. UPnP
devices can be automatically discovered by the UPnP service application on the LAN.

Basic Security
Firewall -
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. Here you can enable or
disable the router’s firewall.
SPI Firewall
- SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet filtering)
helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that the
traffic passing through the session conforms to the protocol. SPI Firewall is enabled by
factory default. If you want all the computers on the LAN exposed to the outside world,
you can disable it.
VPN -
VPN Passthrough must be enabled if you want to allow VPN tunnels using VPN
protocols to pass through the router.
PPTP Passthrough
- Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP network. To allow PPTP
tunnels to pass through the router, click
Enable
.
L2TP Passthrough
- Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is the method used to
enable Point-to-Point sessions via the Internet on the Layer Two level. To allow L2TP
tunnels to pass through the router, click
Enable
.
IPSec Passthrough
- Internet Protocol security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols for
ensuring private, secure communications over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, through
the use of cryptographic security services. To allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the
router, click
Enable
.

ALG -
It is recommended to enable Application Layer Gateway (ALG) because ALG allows
customized Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal filters to be plugged into the
gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer "control/data"
protocols such as FTP, TFTP, H323 etc.
FTP ALG
- To allow FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT, click
Enable
.
TFTP ALG
- To allow TFTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT, click
Enable
.
H323 ALG
- To allow Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate across NAT, click
Enable
.
RTSP ALG
- To allow some media player clients to communicate with some streaming
media servers across NAT, click
Enable
.
