Firewall Settings
The Virtual Server Service is a way to simulate mul- tiple servers on the intranet. You have several IP addresses within your LAN; however, internal IPs are not visible to others outside of your network. When a server is placed on a home or office inter- nal network, that need to be seen by others outside of the internal network, basic forwarding rules need to be established, allowing others to see each server behind the Firewall. To allow this, you will need to setup a Virtual Server for each server you wish to be seen on the Internet (by others outside your net- work). Doing so will allow users from the Internet access to the specified servers, also allowing you to give different IP addresses to each server on your network.
For example, the users accessing port 21 will be directed to “192.168.2.1”. “192.168.2.1”which could be an FTP server. Users accessing port 80 will be directed to “192.168.2.2”, an HTTP server on the network. For users outside your internal network, they will feel like many services are running on a single host. To set up your Firewall, please follow the steps on Page #12 to setup your Virtual Servers.
1.Select “Virtual Server” from the FireWire Settings menu.
2.Select the “Enable” radio button in the Virtual Server.
3.Enter an IP Address that will be used for the selected virtual server. (i.e. 192.168.2.2)
4.Select the virtual servers Protocol. Protocol is application specific; most servers will use TCP, however, using both will increase the chances of the correct settings being chosen. Now select the desired protocol; choose “both” if you are unsure.
5.Now select which port your Virtual Server will use. (i.e. port 21)
6.Please repeat the steps above to establish more virtual servers.
7.Click the Apply button, to activate your new settings.
