Virtual Servers

A virtual server allows you to direct incoming traffic from the Internet (identified by protocol and external port) to an internal server with a private IP address on the LAN. If you need to convert an external port you need to enter an internal port.

Add a Virtual Server

Do one of the following:

• To add a virtual sever for a common application:

  1. Select the Select a service option and choose the application from the drop-down menu.
     
     

  2. Enter the Server IP address.
     
     

  3. Click Apply.

• To add a custom virtual sever:

  1. Select the Custom server option and enter the name of the service.

  2. Enter the Server IP address.
     
     

  3. Enter the External Port Start, External Port End, select the Protocol and enter the Internal Port Start and Internet Port End for the service.

  4. Click Apply.

For a detailed example on setting up a virtual server, see the Tutorials page.

Note: If you set up a DMZ host, all packets for addresses other than those specified in this page go to a designated DMZ machine.
