Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding is used to allow Internet users access to LAN services. Use this menu to set up single-port,
trigger port or static-port range forwarding rules applied to inbound (WAN-to-LAN) traffic. UDP/TCP port
forwarding is used to direct inbound traffic to the specified servers or workstations on your private network.
Port forwarding can also be used to direct potentially hazardous packets to a proxy server outside your
firewall. For example, you can configure the Router to direct HTTP packets to a designated HTTP server in
the DMZ. You can define a set of instructions for a specific incoming port or for a range of incoming ports.
Each set of instructions or rule is indexed and can be modified or deleted later as needed.
The Port Forwarding options include a list of preconfigured rules (listed below) for commonly used
protocols in the Port Forwarding Rules List. To enable a preconfigured rule, click the selection box for the
rule you want to enable and click the Apply button.
