Port Forwarding
Goal
To access a client device on the LAN port of a 6310-DX using a specific port and the external IP address of the 6310-DX.
Setup
This article assumes the LAN ports are operating under default settings, which provide DHCP connectivity to devices connected to the 6310-DX's LAN ports. For more details on the default settings of the 6310-DX, see the Default Settings section of the 6310-DX User's Manual.
You will need to establish the following details before configuring the 6310-DX.
- The IP address of the client device on the LAN port.
- The external port you want to forward to the client device.
- The port you want to access the client device on.
Sample
The following diagram shows a sample setup of a 6310-DX with a cellular WAN connection and a client's laptop connected to LAN port 4. In this setup, we want to access TCP port 443 of the client laptop from the external IP address of the 6310-DXs cellular WAN connection. We will be configuring the 6310-DX with a port forwarding rule to forward external port 10443 to port 443 of the client device's LAN IP.
Sample Configuration
Open the configuration profile for the 6310-DX and make the following changes. Under Firewall -> Port Forwarding, click Add to create a new entry. Set the following options under the new port forwarding rule.
- Interface: Modem
- Prototol: TCP
- Port: 10443
- To Address: 192.168.0.186
- To Port: 443
