<br />
Okay, I have a Cisco 506 Firewall and I have an application that needs to be able to be accessed from the outside.<br />
<br />
My firewall has a public and private interface. &nbsp;70.XX.XX.XXX and 10.X.X.X. &nbsp;I have assigned a public IP address to the server hosting the application, now how do I go about granting my outside users the ability to access it? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I need my outside users to be able to enter the public IP address or External DNS address and be routed via a port forward to the application on server. &nbsp;Do I need to add an additional interface to the router? &nbsp;I would like to be able to ping the public IP of the server to verify it is working.<br />
<br />
Can someone help?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Randy

Public IP Address Added To my Cisco Router for Application Access

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
