Advanced Features 

Virtual Servers 

This feature, sometimes called 

Port Forwarding

, allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, 

Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: 

•

 

Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. 

•

 

Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. 

The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers, as illustrated below. 

 

Figure 36: Virtual Servers 

IP Address seen by Internet Users 

Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but using different protocols. 

To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address. This IP Address is allocated by your 
ISP. 

This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers. 

However, you can use the 

DDNS (Dynamic DNS)

 feature to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, instead of an 

IP Address. 

Virtual Servers Screen 

The 

Virtual Servers

 screen is reached by the 

Virtual Servers

 link on the 

Advanced

 screen. An example screen is shown below.
