Q. How do I forward protocols other than UDP/TCP ?

When using NAT, you have only one public IP address. This means that incoming data which is not in response to an outgoing request from a local client does not know where to go. Port forwarding can be used to direct UDP/TCP traffic on particular ports to specified internal clients.

However for other protocols there is no unique detail to decide which local client to forward the data to. In situations like this, the Vigor has a facility called DMZ. In the DMZ setup, you can specify a single local client (private IP address) to which all unsolicited data on all protocols should be forwarded.
