Publishing a server
If you want to publish a server to the Internet, first assign a fixed private IP address to the server to
be published, and register the IP address conversion table (Static IP masquerade). Then, configure a
filter in the product to permit access from outside the LAN. This allows packets of a specific protocol
to be sent to the server in the LAN, and thus the server can be accessed from the Internet.
Flow of settings
Following settings are required for publishing a
server.
Configuring the product
• Register the conversion table of protocol, port
number and the server IP address (Static IP
masquerade, page 134).
Server settings:
• Set the server IP address.
• Change the settings of Web, ftp, and other file
server software programs according to the
services to be published.
NOTE
When publishing the server to the outside of your
LAN, be sure to configure adequate security settings
to maintain data integrity. Inadequate security settings
may cause PCs in the LAN to be hacked, sniffed,
intercepted, or destroyed, or their data to be lost.
Tip
You can use the netvolante DNS service to publish
and operate a server even when using a connection
service that cannot assign a fixed global IP address.
Please refer to “Using the netvolante DNS service”
(page 131) for more information.
