4.13 Forwarding

There are four submenus under the Forwarding menu: Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, DMZ

and UPnP. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the corresponding function.

Choose menu “Forwarding” → “Virtual Servers”, and then you can view and add virtual servers

in the next screen (shown in Figure 4-72). Virtual servers can be used for setting up public

services on your LAN. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from Internet

to this service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was

used for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP address because its IP address may

change when using the DHCP function.
