14.3. Port Forwarding
Use the Port Forwarding (Virtual Server) function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle different Internet application type
(e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. Computers use port numbers to recognize a particular Internet application type. The Virtual
Server allows you to re-direct a particular port number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port
number.
