BR500 port forwarding for specific ip
Hi Experts,
We have a BR500 router and a linux server at the back end.
The vendor support need to access this linux server with port 22. But this server is also a web server that will allow port 80 and port 443 for internet access.
I have tried to open the port forwarding of port 22 for them but there are a lot of DoS attack port scan afterwards.
Is it possible to allow specific IP address to access this server thru port 22 and drop all other port scan?
Thanks.

In my understanding, you can setup port forwarding and firewall rules eg. for 22/TCP in the local GUI of the BR500 interface. However, Insight does not support the ability to setup the rules in Insight yet.

Thanks Schumaku,
I know I can setup the port forwarding for port 22 to the linux server, but after I set this rule, the router log will show a lot of DoS Scan attack to this server from other IP. So I hope I can only allow a particular IP to access this server and deny all other access for port 22 .
Is it possible?
Thanks.
As mentioned, Insight might not support this, however you can use the local device UI to configure firewall rules.
