Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding (the forwarding of requests to particular ports) is needed when you

wish to operate Server services for the Internet on a PC in your LAN. For example, on

one of your PC's you could run a Web server which provides HTML pages. In this case the

router acts as the Virtual server, forwarding requests for an HTML page from the

Internet to the designated PC on which the Web server is run ning. Externally the router

takes on the role of the server. It receives requests from remote users under its public IP

address and automatically redirects them to local PC's. The private IP addresses of the

servers on the local network remain protected.

Internet services are addressed by defined Ports. The router needs a mapping table of

the port numbers to redirect the service requests to the server that actually provides the

service. You must create this mapping table.

◆To set up Port Forwarding for a service, select Port Forwarding in the Virtual server

menu.

iYou will find an example of Port Forwarding in "Practical Tips and

Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.
