4.7.1 Virtual Servers

Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your LAN, such as DNS, Email and
FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the 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. You can set up virtual servers on this page, shown in Figure
4-25:
Service Port - The numbers of External Ports. You can type a service port or a range of
service ports (the format is XXX – YYY, XXX is the start port, YYY is the end port).
IP Address - The IP Address of the PC providing the service application.
Protocol - The protocol used for this application, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols
supported by the router).
Status - The status of this entry either Enabled or Disabled.
