Configuring Internal forwarding settings
The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet)
calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or
other applications through your Router to your internal network� Since
your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside
your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot
be “seen”� A list of common applications has been provided in case you
need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific application�
If your application is not listed, you will need to contact the application
vendor to find out which port settings you need�
Choosing an application
Select your application from the drop-down list� Click “Add”� The
settings will be transferred to the next available space in the screen�
Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that application� To remove
an application, select the number of the row that you want to remove
then click “Clear”�
Manually entering settings into the Virtual server
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided
for the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a
comma between multiple ports), select the port type (TCP or UDP),
and click “Apply Changes”� You can only pass one port per internal IP
address� Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk� You can
enable and disable settings very quickly� It is recommended that you
disable the settings when you are not using a specific application�
