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.
