Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 • Quality of service (QoS) priorities-Each service at its own native priority that impacts its quality of performance and tolerance for jitter or delays. You can change this QoS priority if desired to change the traffic mix through the system. Inbound Rules (Port Forwarding) Because the FVX538 uses Network Address Translation (NAT), your network presents only one IP address to the Internet and outside users cannot directly address any of your local computers. However, by defining an inbound rule you can make a local server (for example, a web server or game server) visible and available to the Internet. The rule tells the firewall to direct inbound traffic for a particular service to one local server based on the destination port number. This is also known as port forwarding. Figure 6-2: Add Inbound Service Rules screen Note: See "Port Triggering" on page 6-28 for yet another way to allow certain types of inbound traffic that would otherwise be blocked by the firewall.
