Good afternoon.

First posting on this forum. Have just purchased a Vigor2710 router and will be installing it onto a live network to replace an ailing netgear. We use port forwarding on this netgear to forward HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP and Remote Desktop to a X-edge firebox of which provides content filtering and DHCP to the network.

This is a screen shot of the current configuration on the netgear:



What we want to do is to replicate this on the Vigor. I've had a look around and I presume we're looking at 'NAT - 'Port redirection' and then filling out the 4 services.

Example:

Service Name = SMTP
Public Port = 25
Private IP = 10.0.0.192

note 10.0.0.192 is an IP address of the firebox

Just want to confirm that this is the correct course of action, as we've little downtime for this, and simply want to get the router pre configured and introduced onto the network with minimum fuss.

Thanks

That will do it, but NAT >> Open Ports can be easier if you are redirecting several services to one host, it's basically the same as Port redirection but groups it together.

Thanks for this, SMTP, http and https forwarding is fine.

However, have a problem with dialing into the network using pptp. Whats strange is that it seems to forward it through to the firebox okay, but it rejects the username and password. We temporarily returned to the old router and it let us connect straight away.

The username and password is setup on the firebox not the router.

Anything that may be causing this?

cheers

The router is intercepting the PPTP login request thinking it's for its own internal VPN server, to get PPTP pass-through working, go to VPN and remote access then Remote Access Control, on there untick PPTP VPN Server and let the router restart, then forward TCP 1723 to your VPN server and it should work

Thanks for all the help on here. Been very impressed with the Draytek kit so far, and with the level of support on this forum.
