Example: Virtual Server
The diagram below demonstrates one of the ways you can use the Virtual Server function. Use
the Virtual Server when you want the web server located in your private LAN to be accessible to
Internet users. The configuration below means that any request coming from the Internet to
access your web server will be translated to your LAN’s web server (192.168.2.2).
Note:
For the
virtual server to work properly, Internet/remote users must know your global IP address. (For
websites you will need to have a fixed/static global/public IP address.)
