DFL-210 - Port Forwarding

In order to enable port forwarding you need to create two rules on the DFL-210. The first rule is for service to Static Address Translation (SAT) and the second rule is for Network Address Translation (NAT) to Static Address Translation.

The first rule is created using the following steps:

• Under Rules/IP Rules/wan_to_lan add a new rule
• Under the general tabName = enter desired nameAction = SAT
• Service = Select the desired service
• Schedule = Select the desired schedule or None
• Source interface = any
• Source Network = all-nets (you specify a specific inbound address or range)
• Destination Interface = core
• Destination Network = wan_ip3. Under SAT tab
• Under the SAT tab
• check destination IP address
• New IP Address = the address you want to forward to
• New Port = the port you want to forward to
• Create the rule by clicking OK.

The second rule is created using the following steps:

• Under Rules/IP Rules/wan_to_lan add a new rule
• Under the general tabName = enter desired nameAction = Allow
• Service = Select the desired service
• Schedule = Select the desired schedule or None
• Source interface = any
• Source Network = all-nets (you specify a specific inbound address or range)
• Destination Interface = core
• Destination Network = wan_ip

Create the rule by clicking OK.

Activate the configuration by using the Configuration/Save and Activate menu item.

I have followed your steps to enable port forwarding. It isn't working. I am seeing default_rule drops in the log.

I have tried multiple services. Is there any preliminary work you had to do in order for this to work? I can access the router from the wan if I setup ssh or https. I have even setup a ping rule and can ping the router from the wan.

If you could help at all I would really appreciate it.

What version firmware are you using?

I want to set up port forwarding for my bit torrent client. What services do I select? As well Where do I create the wan_ip3? This router was more then I had bargained for.

Thanks

You need to add a service for Bit Torrent with ports 6881-6889. This is what I gathered from this web site http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/#ports, but I am not a Bit Torrent expert. Once the service is created you can use it in your port forwarding rule.

I am not sure why you need a Wan_ip3, but you can create it under objects/address book/interface addresses.

Hope this helps.
