You can have ten single port to IP static mappings (Virtual Servers), and port ranges are handled separately via the Applications feature, which includes outbound triggers for dynamic port mapping. 20 Special Applications can be defined. Figure 3: Virtual...

Outbound Service rules (commonly known as Port Filters), are used to specify a range of ports, i.e. a service, that are either allowed or blocked from a range of LAN IP addresses to a range of WAN (Internet) IP addresses. Figure 2: Outbound Services (click...

Applications feature (Figure 5) also supports single ports, port ranges and combinations, plus the ability to specify a single outbound trigger port. Curiously, Virtual Servers setups can't be temporarily disabled (you must delete them to close the port(s),...

The second issue may put a crimp in the ability to run certain gaming and multimedia applications that dynamically allocate ports since the TZW doesn't support outbound port triggers. It does, however, have special "dynamic port" support for ORACLE SQL.net,...

You're also sure to have missed the Application Layer Gateway (ALG) feature because it has no settings in the admin interface. ALGs are built-in dynamic port mappings that trigger on specific outbound packets. These are used for applications such as games and...

these applications is also typically desired by more than one user, which static port mapping also can't handle. The Special Applications feature (Figure 12) solves these problems by monitoring outbound data for specific ports called "trigger ports". When the...
