Difficult port forwarding UI

I'm using the the super hub plus and trying to add these rules.

 the 57972 is a result of the table recalculating the numbers on the fly!

Where can you open ports to specific IPs, as per A&A in the above example?

Thanks.

I'm just trying to switch 3 or 4 rules across from the old Sky router.

 The smart plus interface is baffling! It seems to do calculations on the grid of numbers it seems to ask for. Say, I can do the qbit ones okay. But any sort of ranges like the for A&A... ihave no idea how you'd implement them with this interface.

@richardgc1 : I would say it was the other way around. The SH+ arrangement for port forwarding is quite standard across generic routers as well as EE. It boils down essentially to:

Device/IP of Server - Range of its ports to be opened - Equal range of ports to be mapped to externally - Protocols.

If anything, I would find your A&A router's arrangement baffling if not mind-blowing.

  • Why would anyone be mapping 1 port (e.g. 115 for SFTP) onto a multitude (1-65535)? Hence you are getting those recalculations when you try the same with the SH+. HINT: Often the External range is the same as the Internal.
  • Why would you be specifying IPs on the WAN side?

I'm following A&A's advice as per https://support.aa.net.uk/VoIP_Firewall#If_you_are_using_public_IP_addresses:

I do understand your point about mapping equal ports. However I read the SIP rule as allowing anything from those 81.... IPs, to sent to port 5060 on 192.168.0.3. This doesn't seem possible on the SP?
