ONFIGURING A VIRTUAL SERVER
The router can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing
Web or FTP services with a public IP address can automatically be redirected to
local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The router firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN so
that all computers networked with the router are invisible to the outside world. If
you want, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet
by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the router
redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN
network.
The router is also capable of port-redirection. Port-redirection takes incoming
traffic to a particular port and redirects it to a different port on the server
computer.
Each virtual service that is created are listed at the bottom of the screen in the
Virtual Servers List. Pre-defined virtual services are already in the table. You can
use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular
virtual service.
To configure a virtual server:
1 Access the Configuration menu by following the instructions in To access
the Web-based configuration utility: on page 13.
