Port Translation only one port

Here' s my scenario: I have a VIP public IP NAT' ing to private IP. I need port 443 to be port forwarded to 8543, but I need everything else (HTTP, SSH, ICMP) to be NAT' ed but no port translation. I can' t figure it out. Is this even possible? Thanks

You can try something like this. I don' t like this solution though. I don' t understand why you can' t have a generic external IP to internal IP mapping without specifying the source/destination ports, but I might just missing something. I tested the below config and it works for me. external interface = port1 DMZ interface = port2 external VIP IP = 172.16.233.10 DMZ host IP = 192.168.10.10 config firewall policy edit 1 set srcintf " port1" set dstintf " port2" set srcaddr " all" set dstaddr " webserver-vip-443" set action accept set schedule " always" set service " HTTPS" " TCP-8543" next edit 2 set srcintf " port1" set dstintf " port2" set srcaddr " all" set dstaddr " webserver-vip-ssh" set action accept set schedule " always" set service " SSH" next end # show firewall vip config firewall vip edit " webserver-vip-443" set extip 172.16.233.10 set extintf " port1" set portforward enable set mappedip 192.168.10.10 set extport 443 set mappedport 8543 next edit " webserver-vip-ssh" set extip 172.16.233.10 set extintf " port1" set portforward enable set mappedip 192.168.10.10 set extport 22 set mappedport 22 next end

@fmurray its doable by configuring two VIPs: first one to precisely define 443 to 8543 and the other one to be configured as range (external port range and internal port range) Mohammad

ha ha, Istvan circumvented the problem very cleverly! The second VIP HAS to be port forwarding as well as the first one, or you will get a " duplicate IP" warning. VIP do not follow the top-down policy ordering (as they do a lot more than just NAT, for example proxy ARP). So, in fact, I think you can do with 3 VIPs: policy 1: VIP port 443->8543 policy 2: VIP port [1-442]->[1-442] policy 2: VIP port [444-1023]->[444-1023] Thank you lightmoon1992 for the hint to use port ranges. Note that you will only get TCP/UDP through these VIPs, no ICMP/ping for example. Only non-port forwarding VIPs can do that.
