Destination: set the destination IP address of packets to be matched, supports entering an IP address or retain the default option Any.

5.7.1.2Port Forwarding
When outside network accesses to specific ports of the ODU, system will transfer this data to corresponding ports of inside device according to relevant port forwarding rules. So that the service deployed in LAN will be available in public network, and the same public IP address can be used to access to plenty of services by using multiple port forwarding rules.
For example, after set port forwarding rules like below, when users from public network try to access to ODU’s port 2000 on WAN, system will transfer request to 192.168.1.23:8080 in LAN.

Name: set the local identifier of the port forwarding rule.
Status: enable or disable the port forwarding rule.

Choose Security > Traffic Shaping and click Edit to modify the bandwidth of the uplink interfaces.

Click Add to create a new traffic shaping rule. Traffic shaping policies consist of a series of rules that are performed in order, which is similar to custom firewall rules. There are two main components to each rule: the type of traffic to be limited or shaped (rule definition), and how that traffic should be limited or shaped (rule actions).

Notes:
Traffic forwarding priority for unmatched rules is medium.
When Limit Bandwidth is set to 0, system will not limit the bandwidth.
The value of Reserved Bandwidth should not be greater than the Limit Bandwidth.

5.8 Services
5.8.1 DHCP server
DHCP implements dynamic IP address allocation in a client/server model.
