4.12 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.

4.12.1 Virtual Servers

Choose menu "Forwarding" → "Virtual Servers", and then you can view and add virtual servers
in the next screen (shown in Figure 4-64). 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.
Service Port: The numbers of External Service Ports. You can enter a service port or a
range of service ports (the format is XXX – YYY; XXX is the Start port and YYY is the End
port).
IP Address: The IP address of the PC running the service application.
