Port Forwarding
Use the Port Forwarding page if your network hosts network services (Internet
applications) such as web, email, FTP, video conferencing or gaming. For each
service, Internet traffic is forwarded by application (IP port) to the internal servers
that host these services.
Port Forwarding enables the SRP to route packets addressed to the WAN
interface for a specific application port, or port range, to an internal device on the
local area network. For example, if you have a web server on the SRP LAN, you
can set up port forwarding for all requests to port 80 to be translated and sent to
the internal web server IP address.
After clicking
Add Entry
, you can create another entry for another network service.
To edit an entry, click the
Edit
(pencil) icon.
NOTE
To ensure correct forwarding of traffic, local servers must either be configured with
a static IP address, or be assigned a reserved IP address through DHCP. Use the
Interface Setup > LAN > DHCP Server
page to reserve IP addresses. See
DHCP
Server, page 42
