5.6 Virtual Server
The router 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.
The router firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all
networked computers connected the router are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you
can make some of the networked computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual
Server. Depending on the requested service, the router will redirect the external service request
to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
Select: Use the pull-down menu to select from a list of well-known Virtual Server services such
as Web, DNS, FTP, POP3, etc. The related Port Range will be automatically specified. For
example, if you select the “FTP”, the port range will automatically be set to 21~21. If you want to
set it by yourself, you can select the “Manual Setting”.
Note: If the browser is Netscape Navigator 4.7, the “Protocol” column will be not automatically
selected. When you select a specific application, you have to select the protocol by yourself.
Redirect IP Address: The IP address of the networked computer connected to the router that
will be using the virtual Server service.
Port Range: Enter the desired service port numbers.
Protocol: Specify the protocol type as “TCP” or “UDP” from the pull-down menu. If you are not
sure which one to select, choose “Both”.
