5.3.2 To set up port forwarding
Port forwarding allows Compex WPE54AG to redirect any incoming Internet
request bearing a public IP address to a specific PC on your network, based on
the incoming packet’s TCP/UDP port number.
You can thus use TCP port forwarding to hide your web-server behind
Compex WPE54AG for added security while using UDP port forwarding lets
you run a secure multiplayer game server.
The following diagram shows a Compex WPE54AG with a public IP address
of 203.120.90.3 and a private IP address of 192.168.168.1. All incoming
packets with port number 80 will be forwarded to the Web server, known on
the LAN as 192.168.168.5, while those with port number 21 will be directed
to the FTP server which has a private IP address of 192.168.168.8.
