Port Forwarding Port forwarding (or virtual server) allows you to direct incoming traffic to specific LAN hosts based on a
protocol port number and protocol. Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for
example, web hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. Port forwarding is configurable
per LAN group.
Port Forwarding
A database of predefined port forwarding rules allows you to apply one or more rules to one or more
members of a defined LAN group. You can view the rules associated with a predefined category and
add the available rules for a given category. You can also create, edit, or delete your own port
forwarding rules.
To configure port forwarding:
1. From the Advanced Menu, select Application > Port Forwarding.
2. Select a WAN Connection.
3. Select a LAN Group.
4. Select a LAN IP. If the desired LAN IP is not available in the LAN IP drop-down menu, you can
add it using the LAN Client page, which is accessed by clicking New IP.
5. Select the available rules for a given category then click Add to apply the rule for this category.
