I want to temporarily open ssh access to my machine behind a huawei
smartax 882 router (BSNL broadband). I followed instructions at the
following link to set up a "virtual server" on the router. 

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Huawei/SmartAX-MT882/SSH.htm

Is there a way of testing if the router is now allowing traffic across
that port? (Sorry, I do not know if the terms I used are correct.)

I still cannot access the machine from outsite the router. I have
configured by ssh server (using webmin) to allow connection to
forwarded ports. Port scan on the machine shows that ssh port is open. 

Port scan on the router does not show the corresponding port to be
open (is it supposed to?).

I will be thankful for any pointers.
