Port Forwarding Without NAT

So, I have a very interesting network. I have a media server that is on a separate VLAN. There is no way for me to statically configure the client(s) with a static IP (they just search for the server). It uses tcp/32400.

I have looked at the administrators guide but it doesn't mention it, presumably because it is fairly new.What does this actually control, because the user-id agent on the box works fine without that checked (or seems to).
