Port Forwarding

[scott.k.logan]

Alright, I just don't understand Cisco port forwarding. I have a 2610 with a NM-1E and I want to setup port forwarding. I have the router configured and it works great, but now I need some ports configured.

The way things worked on my old router, I had a DMZ setup forwarding all to one IP, but I also had some individual port ranges setup as well. SO:

DMZ to 192.168.1.3

9300-9399 to 192.168.1.3

9400-9499 to 192.168.1.4

9500-9599 to 192.168.1.5

etc, etc.

Is there any way to do this on the Cisco router?

Also, on my Linksys, if I attempt to connect to the external IP from behind the network, it would simply pass the connection through port forwarding as if it had been external. I used the following command to configure what I think was a DMZ, but I can't connect to the "external" ip from within the network...

ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.3 65.41.113.xx

To do a port translation on a router-

ip nat inside source static tcp [inside IP] 80 interface [outside IP] 80

Let's assume your DMZ address is 10.10.10.10

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.3 9300 10.10.10.10 9300

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.3 9301 10.10.10.10 9301

...

...

There is no way to do a range, so you will have a NAT statement for each port. I have not found a way to access the external IP from the internal network (yet). Don't forget to add/change your ACL's to allow the traffic.
