Mapped IP Both Mapped IP and Virtual Server use IP mapping mechanism to allow outside users access internal servers through the firewall. They are different in following ways: ! Virtual Server has Load balance feature, and Mapped IP does not. ! Virtual Server has a one-to-many mapping relationship to physical servers and Mapped IP is mapped to physical servers in one-to-one fashion. A virtual server can be mapped to only one service, such as SMTP, HTTP or FTP. A Mapped IP can be mapped to all services provided by a physical server. Policy The DFL-80 decides whether a data packet can pass according to values of the policies. A policy's parameters are source address, destination address, service, permission, packets' history, statistics and flow alarms. Policies can be divided into four categories based on the packets' source addresses. ! Outgoing : Clients are located in internal networks and servers are in external networks. ! Incoming : Clients are located in external networks and servers are in internal networks. ! To DMZ : Client can be located in either internal or external networks and servers are in DMZ. !

Mapped IP
Both Mapped IP and Virtual Server use IP mapping mechanism to allow outside
users access internal servers through the firewall.
They are different in following
ways:
!
Virtual Server has Load balance feature, and Mapped IP does not.
!
Virtual Server has a one-to-many mapping relationship to physical
servers and Mapped IP is mapped to physical servers in one-to-one fashion. A
virtual server can be mapped to only one service, such as SMTP, HTTP or FTP.
A Mapped IP can be mapped to all services provided by a physical server.
Policy
The DFL-80 decides whether a data packet can pass according to values of
the policies. A policy’s parameters are source address, destination address,
service, permission, packets’ history, statistics and flow alarms. Policies can
be divided into four categories based on the packets’ source addresses.
!
Outgoing :
Clients are located in internal networks and
servers are in
external networks.
!
Incoming :
Clients are located in external networks and
servers are in
internal
networks.
!
To DMZ :
Client can be located in either internal or external networks
and servers are in DMZ.
!
From DMZ :
