Corega 613-00041-01 manual Virtual Server, Ports, Redirect IP Address

2.9 Virtual Server

The Virtual Server Settings application allows you to set up to ten public services, such as a Web Address, Email, FTP etc. that can be accessed by external users of the Internet. Each service is provided by a dedicated network computer (server) configured with a fixed (static) IP Address. Although the internal service addresses are not directly accessible to the external user, the BAR-WL Wireless Router is able to identify the service requested by the service port number and redirects the request to the appropriate internal IP Address/server. To use this application, it is recommended you use a fixed Public IP Address from your ISP. Note that your BAR-WL Wireless Router supports only one server of any particular type.

•Set up individual network computers to act as servers and configure each with a fixed IP Address.

•In the “One Page Setup” screen, ensure the “Private IP Address” is set to the BAR-WL Wireless Router’s default setting of 192.168.1.1. If a fixed Public IP Address is to be used, select “Specify an IP address” and enter the IP Address and other necessary information provided by your ISP.

•Ports

Enter the desired service port numbers in the “Ports” fields. You can specify the protocol type as “TCP” or “UDP” from the drop-down list. If you are not sure which one to select, choose “Both”. A selection of well-known service port numbers is provided on this screen.

•Redirect IP Address

Enter the appropriate IP Addresses of the service computers in the “Redirect IP Address” locations.

Example: If the service port number 80~80 (representing an HTTP web address) is entered in “Ports” and 192.168.1.100 is entered in “Redirect IP Address”, then all HTTP requests from external Internet users will be directed to the PC/server with the 192.168.1.100 fixed IP Address.
