vrf name (Optional) Enables VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance and VRF name. global (Optional) Configures a global routing table. address Destination broadcast or host address to be used when forwarding UDP broadcasts. There can be more than one helper address per interface. redundancy vrg-name (Optional) Defines the VRG group name.
When requesting a file transfer, the host making the request identifies the corresponding data connection by its network layer and transport layer addresses. If the host making the request lies behind a simple NAT firewall, the translation of the IP address or TCP port number makes the information received by the server invalid.
By convention, the PAC file is normally named proxy.pac. The WPAD standard uses wpad.dat. The .pac file is expected to contain at least one function: FindProxyForURL(url, host), with two arguments and return value in specific format: * url is the URL of the object * host is the host-name derived from that URL.
Local port forwarding is the most common type of port forwarding. It is used to let a user connect from the local computer to another server, i.e. forward data securely from another client application running on the same computer as a Secure Shell (SSH) client. By using local port forwarding, firewalls that block certain web pages, can be ...
Round-robin DNS is a technique of load distribution, load balancing, or fault-tolerance provisioning multiple, redundant Internet Protocol service hosts, e.g., Web server, FTP servers, by managing the Domain Name System's (DNS) responses to address requests from client computers according to an appropriate statistical model.
The thought being that traffic is denied if it fails the RPF check and is therefore filtered. While uRPF is used as an ingress filtering mechanism, it is affected by reverse-path forwarding. Reverse path filters are typically used to disable asymmetric routing where an IP application has a different incoming and outgoing routing path.
Port triggering is a configuration option on a NAT-enabled router that controls communication between internal and external host machines in an IP network. It is similar to port forwarding in that it enables incoming traffic to be forwarded to a specific internal host machine, although the forwarded port is not open permanently and the target internal host machine is chosen dynamically.
MAC-Forced Forwarding (MACFF) is used to control unwanted broadcast traffic and host-to-host communication. This is achieved by directing network traffic from hosts located on the same subnet but at different locations to an upstream gateway device. This provides security at Layer 2 since no traffic is able to pass directly between the hosts.
