Port forwarding

This function is available only when the device works in WISP or Router mode.
8.4.1
Overview
If computers are connected to the CPE to form a LAN and access the internet through the CPE,
internet users cannot access the hosts on the LAN. Therefore, the servers, such as web servers,
email servers, and FTP servers, on the LAN are inaccessible to internet users.
To enable internet users to access a LAN server, enable the port forwarding function of the CPE,
and map one service port to the IP address of the LAN server. This enables the CPE to forward the
requests arriving at the port from the internet to the LAN server, and avoid the attacks from the
WAN.
Choose Advanced > Port Forwarding to enter the page.
