Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public
If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web
requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server.
To make a local web server public:
1.
Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP
address reservation.
In this example, your modem router always gives your web server an IP address of
192.168.1.55.
2.
On the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering page, configure the modem router to forward the
HTTP service to the local address of your web server at
192.168.1.55
.
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.
