Set Up Port Forwarding To Local Servers - NETGEAR CG3700EMR-1CMNDS User Manual

• Port triggering is used by any computer on your network, although only one computer can
use it at a time.
• Port forwarding is configured for a single computer on your network.
• With port triggering, the gateway does not need to know the computer's IP address in
advance. The IP address is captured automatically.
• Port forwarding requires that you specify the computer's UP address during configuration,
and the UP address can never change.
• Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the
triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.
• Port forwarding is always active and is never triggered.

Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers

Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach
servers on your local network. For example, you want to make a local web server, FTP
server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.
Use the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen to configure the gateway to forward specific
incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific
applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols
are forwarded.
Before starting, you determine which type of service, application, or game you want to
provide, and the local IP address of the computer that provides the service. The server
computer always must have the same IP address.
Tip: To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address,
use the reserved IP address feature of your wireless cable gateway.
