3.4.5 DMZ

The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets

 

going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP

 

address in your LAN.

 

 

3.4.1 Virtual Server

Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle different service/Internet application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. Computers use numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port number.

Parameters
