Configuring a Special Application

The Huawei B618 LTE CPE supports the function to use a special application to configure dynamic port forwarding. Certain applications in the local area network (LAN) must use a specified port of the firewall to access remote applications. To set up a Transmission Control Protocol and User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) connection between an application in the LAN and a remote application, the firewall uses this port forwarding function to open the required port.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> Security > Special Applications.
  2. Click Add and set the parameters.
  3. Click OK to save the settings.

 NOTE:

  • Edit: to edit an item.
  • Delete: to delete an item.
  1. Click Apply for the settings to take effect.

Example of the Configuration of a Special Application

A client in the LAN uses TCP to access the MSN game server through port 47624. When the game starts, the game server uses TCP and port 2400 to set up a connection to the client that tries to access the server. In this case, you must configure dynamic port forwarding, because the game conflicts with the following default firewall rules:

  • The firewall blocks external data input.
  • The game server can send a connection request to the external IP address of the Huawei B618 but cannot send the request to the LAN client that tries to access the game server, because the IP addresses of clients are not open to external devices.

To solve this problem, you must define a set of port forwarding rules. When the client in the LAN sends data to TCP port 47624, the rules allow data input from TCP port 2400. Then data from the game server can be received from and transmitted to the LAN client that sends data to TCP port 47624.

Name Status Trigger Port Trigger Protocol Open Protocol Open Port
MSN Gaming Zone On 47624 TCP TCP 2400

 NOTE:

For details about Trigger Port, Open Port, Trigger Protocol, and Open Protocol, contact your service provider.

 

———————————————————-

Setting the DMZ

If external users cannot access certain network services provided by the local area network (LAN), use the DMZ function provided by the Huawei B618 to set the client that provides the required network services as the DMZ host; external users can then access these services properly. DMZ is an acronym for the demilitarized zone in networks.

Prerequisite

DMZ users are not protected by the firewall and may be easily attacked. In addition, the security of other users in the LAN is compromised.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> Security > DMZ Settings.
  2. Select:
    • Enable: to enable the DMZ function.
    • Disable: to disable the DMZ function.
  3. In DMZ IP address:, enter the IP address of the client to be set as the DMZ host.

 NOTE:

One client can be set as the DMZ host at a time.

  1. Click Apply.
