D-Link DIR-601 User Manual
Section 3 - Configuration
The DIR-601 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically
redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DIR-601 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network
so all computers networked with the DIR-601 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish,
you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual
Server. Depending on the requested service, the DIR-601 redirects the external service
request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DIR-601 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port
may be redirected to a different port on the server computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual
Servers List. There are pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them
by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.
