Port Forwarding - D-Link DSL-562T User Manual

Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding allows specific functions to bypass NAT protection that would otherwise not allow them to
function. To use Port Forwarding, you must have specific client IP addresses available for configuration. Use the
LAN Clients menu to establish client IP addresses available for port forwarding.
In order to use Port Forwarding, Firewall support must be enabled. See Enable/Disable
NAT and Firewall in the Advanced Security menu.
Note
There are many different pre-configured rules available for specific functions such as Internet gaming, VPN,
streaming and interactive multi-media, standard TCP/IP protocols, reserved ports, p2p, network management
applications, and so on.
