Firewall Rules

CharlieCharlieH — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 13:15:27 GMT

We have a new Quantum Spark 2560 Firewall (R82.00.10) which I need to setup for incoming and outgoing UDP 3001. The traffic is being dropped (as per attached picture) due to the automatic rule for all incoming.
I haven’t set up any NAT rules, servers or port forwarding, which I believe I also have to, after the rule that will allow the traffic through.

The traffic is routed through the Firewall and needs to be routed on to a particular internal IP address which isn’t on the internal network address of the Firewall.

Source is from External IP address say 62.46.244.23 and Destination IP address of Firewall is say 10.43.67.122

Firewall is set to 192.168.40.1 /24 for internal traffic & LAN Ports

IP of required PC for forwarding traffic is 192.168.20.35 and is connected via the DMZ to a switch currently on an IP range of 192.168.20.1 /23.

Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to set this up?

The best approach would be to configure a Server object, which is the correct approach for "port forwarding" situations.
