IP-COM EP9 - Port Forwarding - 2

text_image Port Forwarding The port forwarding function enables users to access your LAN resources through the internet. For example, if a web server or an FTP server is set up on a LAN host, users can access the server through the internet after the port forwarding function is configured. Port forwarding is usually used for some proxies, such as the POP3, SMTP, and TELNET proxies.

Note

  • Ensure that the WAN IP address of the mesh node is a public IP address, and the internal port you entered is correct.
  • Security soware, antivirus soware, and the built-in OS rewall of the server may cause port forwarding funcon failures. Disable them when using this funcon.
  • Manually set an IP address for the web server to avoid the service disconncon caused by the dynamic IP address.

19 Stac Route

IP-COM EP9 - Stac Route - 1

The Stac Route funcon is performed to select the best route for delivering data from a source address to a desnaon address. A stac route is a manually congured route, which is simple, ecient, and reliable. Appropriate stac routes help reduce the number of route selecon problems and reduce route selecon burden, increasing the packet forwarding speed.

Applicaon scenario for Stac Route

Vising mulple networks or servers at the same me

A company uses the Mesh system to deploy its networks, and its internal network is isolated from the internet. It requires that devices connected to the mesh network can access the internet and the company's server at the same me.

Soluon

Connect the WAN1 port of EW9 to the internet.

Connect the WAN2 port of EW9 to the internal network.

Set stac route rules on EW9.

Assume that:

Informaon of internal network

IP address: 172.16.0.0

Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

Informaon for accessing the internal network:

IP address: 192.168.58.190

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.58.1

Primary DNS: 192.168.58.1

PPPoE user name and password for accessing the internet:

User name: IP-COM

Password: IP-COM
