The Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the service
as TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by the Pepwave access point via the
specified protocol at the specified port(s) is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the
server setting. Please see below for details on the Port and server settings.
Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to
automatically fill in the protocol and a single port number of common Internet services
(e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.). After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool
drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remain manually modifiable.
The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be
configured to behave in one of the following manners:
Any Port: all traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol is
forwarded to the server specified by the server setting. For example, with IP Protocol
set to TCP, and Port set to Any Port, all TCP traffic is forwarded to the configured
servers.
Single Port: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port is forwarded via the same port to the server specified by the server
setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, Port set to Single Port, and the port
set to 80, TCP traffic received on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port
80.
Port Range: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port range is forwarded via the same respective ports to the LAN hosts
specified by the server setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, Port set to
Port Range, and the port range set to 80-88, TCP traffic received on ports 80 through
88 is forwarded to the configured servers via the respective ports.
Port Mapping: traffic that is received by Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the server
setting. For example, with the IP Protocol set to TCP, the Port set to Port Mapping,
the port set to 80, and the Map to Port set to 88, TCP traffic on port 80 is forwarded to
the configured servers via port 88.
Range Mapping: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified
protocol at the specified port range is forwarded via a different port to the servers
specified by the server setting.
