Port Forwarding

The port forwarding function forwards inbound traffic from the Internet
to a specified single device on your network. Examples include allowing
access to a web server on your network, peer-to-peer file sharing,
applications that allow remote access to a specified computer, some
gaming and videoconferencing applications and others.
If you have a server in the network that you want to make available to
the Internet, you can set up port forwarding. The firewall passes
requests from the Internet to the designated computer on the network.
This function works by allowing you to route external (Internet) calls for
services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other
applications through the router to the internal network.
Perform the following steps to set up port forwarding.
1. Access and sign in to the configuration interface.
2. Click the Firewall tab.
3. Click Port Forwarding in the side menu to display the Port
Forwarding screen.
4. Select the type of server that you want to add from the Service List
