When configured, an application profile configures your system’s firewall to pass through application-specific data. This feature is typically used when the application for which you want to pass through data to a given computer is new or has been recently updated to a new version. If you want to host an application that is not included in the Application Profile list, you can create a new application profile and add it to the list.

• For 3.x firmware

• For 4.x firmware and Higher

To create a new application profile in 3.x firmware:

1. Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering http://gateway.2wire.net.
2. Click Firewall -> Firewall Settings, the Edit Firewall Settings page.
3. Click Add a new user-defined application in the Application panel to open the Edit Application page.
4. Enter an application profile name in the Application Name field.

   It is recommended that you use the name of the application (for example, Redwing Game Server).

5. Create your application definition in the Definition panel.

   A definition consists of a series of protocol-specific ports that are to be allowed through the firewall. You can find this information in the documentation provided by the company that produces the application.

6. Select the TCP or UDP button in the Protocol field.

   If the application you are adding requires both protocols, you must create a separate definition for each.

7. Enter the port or port range the application uses in the Port (or Range) field. For example, some applications require only one port to be opened (such as TCP port 500); others require that all TCP ports from 600 to 1000 be opened.
8. Optionally, enter a timeout value in the Protocol Timeout (seconds) field for the amount of time that can pass before the application “times out.” The default values are 86,400 seconds for the TCP protocol, 600 seconds for the UDP protocol.
9. Enter a value in the Map to Host Port field that maps the port range you established in the above step to the local computer. For example, if you set the value to 4000 and the range being opened is 100 to 108, the forwarded data to the first value in the range will be sent to 4000. Subsequent ports will be mapped accordingly; 101 will be sent to 4001, 102 will be sent to 4002, and so forth.
10. Select the application type from the Application Type drop-down list. If you do not know the application type, select None (Default).
11. Click Add Definition to the profile definition list.
12. Click Done.
13. Repeat steps 1 through 12 for each port or range of ports required for the application profile.

To edit or delete an application profile:

1. Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering http://gateway.2wire.net.
2. Click Firewall -> Firewall Settings, the Edit Firewall Settings page opens.
3. Click Edit or delete user-defined in the Application panel;  the Select a Hosted Application page opens.
4. Select the application you want to edit or delete in the User-Defined Application Profiles panel.
5. Click the button for your intended action.

Clicking Edit brings up the Edit Application page; make the necessary changes, then click Done.

To create an application profile for 4.x and higher:

1. Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering http://gateway.2wire.net.
2. Click Firewall -> Firewall Settings, the Edit Firewall Settings page opens.
3. Click Add a new user-defined application in the Application panel to open the Edit Application page.
4. Enter an application profile name in the Application Name field.

   It is recommended that you use the name of the application (for example, Redwing Game Server).

11. Click Add Definition to the profile definition list.
12. Click Done.
13. Repeat steps 1 through 12 for each port or range of ports required for the application profile.
