Virtual Server - D-Link DSL-522T User Manual

Virtual Server

Use the Virtual Server window to set up single-port, trigger port or static-port range forwarding rules applied
to inbound (WAN-to-LAN) traffic. The Virtual Server function allows remote users to access services on your
LAN such as FTP for file transfers or SMTP and POP3 for e-mail. The DSL-522T will accept remote requests
for these services at your Global IP Address, using the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and
then redirect these requests to the server on your LAN with the LAN IP address you specify. Remember that
the specified Private IP Address must be within the useable range of the subnet occupied by the Router.
UDP/TCP port redirection is used to direct inbound traffic to the specified servers or workstations on your
private network. Port redirection can also be used to direct potentially hazardous packets to a proxy server
outside your firewall. For example, you can configure the Router to direct HTTP packets to a designated
HTTP server in the DMZ. You can define a set of instructions for a specific incoming port or for a range of
incoming ports. Each set of instructions or rule is indexed and can be modified or deleted later as needed.
The Virtual Server options include a list of preconfigured rules (listed below) for commonly used protocols in
the Virtual Server List. To enable a preconfigured rule, click the selection box for the rule you want to enable
and click the Apply button.
Use the LAN Clients window to select eligible IP addresses before configuring forwarding
rules. See LAN Clients below.
