  • Page 103 Example 1: Optimize Your Home Network with QoS If you are actively engaged in using P2P and are afraid of slowing down internet access throughput of other users within your network, you can thus use QoS function to set different priorities for the different applications that members of your network will be using to avoid bandwidth traffic from getting overloaded.

  • Page 105 Example 2: Optimize Your Home Network with QoS If you are running a lot of standard applications you cn just create a QoS rule that has its port range set from 1 ~ 1024 and its priority set to High. This port range is defined in RFC and so it can be used by all standard applications like FTP, Telnet, HTTPS etc.

  • Page 106: Virtual Server

    Virtual Server Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from WAN side (identified by Protocol and External port) to the Internal server with private IP address on the LAN side. The Internal port is required only if the external port needs to be converted to a different port number used by the server on the LAN side.
  • Page 107 Example: List of some well-known and registered port numbers. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the central coordinator for the assignment of unique parameter values for Internet protocols. Port numbers range from 0 to 65535, but only ports numbers 0 to 1023 are reserved for privileged services and are designated as “well-known ports”...

    Port Mapping Application: Select the service you wish to configure. Protocol: A protocol is automatically applied when an Application is selected from the listbox or you may select a protocol type which you want. External Port & Internal Port: Enter the public port number & range you wish to configure. Internal IP Address: Enter the IP address of a specific internal server to which requests from the specified port is forwarded.
  • Page 109 In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The protocol is determined by a particular application. Most applications use TCP or UDP, however you may also specify other protocols using the drop-down Protocol menu. Setting the protocol to “all” causes all incoming connection attempts using all protocols on all port numbers to be forwarded to the specified IP address.
  • Page 110 The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets that do not use a port number which is already used by any other Virtual Server entries will first be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms before it is passed to the DMZ host.

    Static ARP This feature allows you to map the layer-2 MAC (Media Access Control) address that corresponds to the layer-3 IP address of the device. IP Address: Enter the IP of the device that the corresponding MAC address will be mapped to. MAC Address: Enter the MAC address that corresponds to the IP address of the device.
  • Page 116 Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful when hosting servers via your WAN connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than the dynamic IP address which is assigned to you by ISP.
