18 Port Forwarding
Pepwave routers can act as a firewall that blocks, by default, all inbound access from the
Internet. By using port forwarding, Internet users can access servers behind the Pepwave
router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at Advanced>Port Forwarding .
To define a new service, click Add Service .
This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect. When Enable is
checked, the inbound service takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by
the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. When this setting is
disabled, the inbound service does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the
other parameters of the rule.
This setting identifies the service to the system administrator. Valid values for this
setting consist of only alphanumeric and underscore “_” characters.
