Virtual Network Port Forwards
less than a minute
Virtual Network Port Forwards allow a virtual IP address to be associated with a TCP Layer 4 service on a remote node or cluster without the need to specify a route for that virtual IP address.
Description
As noted above, a Virtual Network Port Forward (or remote port forward) associates a service defined on a node or cluster with a virtual IP address within the virtual network without needing to specifically route that IP to the node/cluster.
Any node attached to the virtual network that receives VPN traffic destined for the configure IP and port will proxy the connection and send the traffic to the target node which will then send the traffic to the IP and port configured for the target service.
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Virtual IP Address | Virtual IP address assigned to the port forward. |
| Virtual Port | TCP port on which the port forward will listen for connections. |
| Destination Node | Node or Cluster where the target service is defined. |
| Destination Service | Service that traffic for the virtual IP and virtual port will be forwarded to. Alternately, you can specify an IP and port local to the destination node. |
