Simple IP based port triggering

Hello,

 

I have 3 incoming port setup for port forwarding.

They are used to send print jobs form a supporting company to some local printers.

the same port(s) being used on both ends, so that was very simple to setup (printers also have fixed IPs).

 

I am wondering how to lock down the port forwarding to only allow forwards from Specific IPs.

 

If I were doing a Unix (IPFW) rule, what I might currently have is 

 

allow all TCP from ALL 9104 to 192.167.0.10 9104

 

What I really want is something like:

 

allow ALL from 10.11.12.13 9104 TO 192.168.1.10 9104

 

Is this possible?

we are using a Nighthawk RAX70.

  • Hello,

     

    I have 3 incoming port forwarding rules to allow remote IPs (WAN) to connect to 3 specific printers on the internal network. Of course, the port forwarding rules open those ports for all incoming (WAN) connections.

    I am wanting to create some ACL rules to limit access to those ports form the specific remote IPs only.
    Is this possible through the Nighthawk ACL facility?
