How can I open a range of ports

Greetings,

 

How can I open a range of ports through the firewall to be used by a number of computers on my internal network?  Port forwarding will not work for me in this case.  Thankyou.

Welcome to the forums.

 

When you create a service, you define a range of ports to be used. You create the ports in the service, then use the service in the policy.

 

I hope that's what you were after...

 

If you give an example, we may be able to hone in more closely.

I have created a Service with the required TCP ports.  Additionally, I have created an IPV4 policy that includes that newly defined service - wan1-lan.  Still not working.  ;-(

What is the source port range? It should be 0-65535.

It was in the top place.  I figured it out.  The interfaces needed to be switched in the policy (lan/wan1).  thanks.

Does the Policy-Rule on the top place?
