5.6 Virtual Server
The Virtual Server Configuration page allows users to set the
configuration of Virtual Server. The firmware includes the Free BSD
version firewall. All UDP/TCP ports are protected from intrusion. If any
specific local PCs need to be mapped to the UDP/TCP port on WAN
side, please input the mappings here.
This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect
your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the
outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by
enabling the virtual server.
The Virtual Server allows you to set up public services, such as a Web
server, FTP, E-mail etc. that can be accessed by external users of the
Internet. Each service is provided by a dedicated network computer
configured with a fixed IP address.
Set up private network computers to act as servers and configure
each server with a fixed IP address.
Enter the desired service port numbers in the public port and private
port field and specify port type as TCP or UDP.
Public Port: This field allows the user to enter the port number of the
Public Network.
Private Port: This field allows the user to enter the port number of the
Private Network. In most cases, the private port number is same as
public port number.
Host IP Address: This field allows the user to enter the private
network IP address for the particular sever.
