72CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER
Virtual Servers The Virtual servers feature allows you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the Internet cannot get to them because they cannot be 'seen'.
If you need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific application, you will need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.
The maximum number of virtual servers that can be configured is 20.
