D-Link 2560G Network Router User Manual


 
What happens now?
External traffic to wan_ip:80 will match rules 1 and 4, and will be sent to wwwsrv. Correct.
Return traffic from wwwsrv:80 will match rules 2 and 3. The replies will therefore be
dynamically address translated. This changes the source port to a completely different port,
which will not work.
The problem can be solved using the following rule set:
# Action Src Iface Src Net Dest Iface Dest Net Parameters
1 SAT any all-nets core wan_ip http SETDEST wwwsrv 80
2 SAT lan wwwsrv any all-nets 80 -> All SETSRC wan_ip 80
3 FwdFast lan wwwsrv any all-nets 80 -> All
4 NAT lan lannet any all-nets All
5 FwdFast lan wwwsrv any all-nets 80 -> All
External traffic to wan_ip:80 will match rules 1 and 5 and will be sent to wwwsrv.
Return traffic from wwwsrv:80 will match rules 2 and 3.
Internal traffic to wan_ip:80 will match rules 1 and 4, and will be sent to wwwsrv. The sender
address will be the NetDefend Firewall's internal IP address, guaranteeing that return traffic
passes through the NetDefend Firewall.
Return traffic will automatically be handled by the NetDefend Firewall's stateful inspection
mechanism.
