Virtual Server - Eusso Wireless-N 4-Port Router User Manual

Virtual Server

Use the Virtual Server menu to set up static port 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 router 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. 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.
