Chapter 10 Network Address Translation (NAT) Screens
You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local
IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web
service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or
where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service),
it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. You can allocate a server IP address that
corresponds to a port or a range of ports.
Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such
as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and
may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are
unsure, refer to your ISP.
10.4.1
Default Server IP Address
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server IP address. A
default server receives packets from ports that are not specified in this screen.
Note:
If you do not assign a
Default Server
IP address, the ZyXEL Device discards
all packets received for ports that are not specified here or in the remote
management setup.
10.4.2
Port Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers
Use the
Port Forwarding
screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your
local network.
The most often used port numbers and services are shown in
Appendix F on page 371
. Please
refer to RFC 1700 for further information about port numbers.
10.4.3
Configuring Servers Behind Port Forwarding (Example)
Let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (
A
in the
example), port 80 to another (
B
in the example) and assign a default server IP address of
192.168.1.35 to a third (
C
in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP
assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.

Default Server
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A
default server receives packets from ports that are not specified in this screen. If
you do not assign a
Default Server
IP address, the ZyXEL Device discards all
packets received for ports that are not specified here or in the remote management
setup.

10.5.2
SIP ALG
Some NAT routers may include a SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG). A SIP ALG allows
SIP calls to pass through NAT by examining and translating IP addresses embedded in the
data stream. When the ZyXEL Device registers with the SIP register server, the SIP ALG
translates the ZyXEL Device’s private IP address inside the SIP data stream to a public IP
address. You do not need to use STUN or an outbound proxy if your ZyXEL Device is behind
a SIP ALG.
Use this screen to enable and disable the SIP (VoIP) ALG in the ZyXEL Device. To access
this screen, click
Network > NAT > ALG
.
