5.9 Allowing Internet Users to Access an Internal
Resource Server
Function Overview
Without special settings, Internet users cannot access the web or FTP servers on a LAN.
By using the network address translation (NAT) function of the router, specified Internet
users are allowed to access the web and FTP servers on a LAN.
Furthermore, IP addresses used by most users to access the Internet are dynamically
assigned by network service providers, so many cannot use fixed IP addresses to access
the resources provided on servers. The router's Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)
function allows Internet users to use fixed domain names to access the resources
provided on servers.
After the DDNS function is enabled, the router automatically submits the new IP address
obtained to the server of a DDNS provider. On the DDNS server, the IP address that
corresponds to the domain name is updated to the latest IP address. When a computer on
the Internet accesses the domain name, the DDNS server provides the latest IP address to
that computer.
Configuration Example
If you deploy a web server on a LAN and want Internet users to be able to access the web
site on the web server through a fixed domain name, the IP addresses of relevant devices
should be as follows:
The IP address of the router LAN interface is 192.168.3.1.
