Routed Port Vs WAN Ports

Hi All,

It looks a lame question but I am really confused on this. Is there any difference between Routed Ports and WAN ports? Does they make any difference?

Regards,

Hi, Rupesh, and welcome to the User BB!

I'm not sure what your question means, but the UTM is a stateful firewall, so if you allow port 80 out to the Internet, the response traffic will be accepted by the connection tracker.

Hi Bob,

Thank you very much.

We are trying to get UTM with 2 WAN ports and 1 LAN port. As I checked some of the datasheet they seems to have 2 WAN port but still If I have 3-4 ports on UTM which can be used as routed port, is there any different? Using port tagged as WAN by vendor and using port which can be used as routed?

Regards,
Rupesh Basnet

Any port can be configured as WAN, LAN, DMZ, etc. Just labels, no techinical difference between them.
