Hello srikanthgungi,
Welcome to the community!
To open ports on your firewall you'll have to go to Security>Firewall Rules then click Add (Inbound Services), on the Service drop-down menu are the names of predefined services that you can choose from (see image below for reference):
If the service(s) that you have is not on the list, you'll have to add them manually. Go to Security>Services and Add Custom Service, see image below for reference:
For full instructions, please click on this link (page 230).
I hope it helps, if you have more questions we'll be happy to help.
Thanks,

Hi JohnRo,
Thanks for your help, I was trying to open the ports of my IP cameras so that i can have a remote access from my home.So is there any particular service for that sort of ports from the drop down menu that we get under services. and also i have tried by creating a service and making inbound rules which allows always and it was sucessfull but when i check wether the ports are open are not with the following link
http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
which says that the particular port is closed. Help me with this issue.
Thank You
Hi srikanthgungi,
What ports do you need to open? Post a screenshot of an inbound rule that you have created so I can check if it's done properly. Also, what is the model/brand of your modem?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks,
