Static Rule With Multiple Host Connections

This rule supports a Telnet connection from the client to two machines, sesta and siroe.

where

23 is the port number on the destination host for the connection– reserved port for Telnet.

1111 is the port on the client where Netlet listens for a connection request from the first destination host sesta.

1234 is the port on the client where Netlet listens for a connection request from the second destination host siroe.

The first six fields in this rule are the same as in Basic Static Rule. The difference is that three more fields identify the second destination host.

When you add additional targets to a rule, you must add three fields, local port, destination host, and destination port, for each new destination host.

You can have multiple sets of three fields describing the connection to each destination host. Listen port numbers which are less than 2048 must not be used if the remote client is UNIX-based because low numbered ports are restricted and you must be root to start a listener.

This rule works the same as the previous rule. The Netlet provider does not display any link, but Netlet automatically starts and listens on the two ports specified (1111 and 1234). The user needs to start the client software, in this case a Telnet session that connects to localhost on port 1111 or the localhost on port 1234 to connect to the host in the second example.
