Port Forwarding
Access > Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding allows you to define a range of multiple public ports (used or required
by a specific application or game) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer
or device) on your network on a specific port. Using this feature is more secure
compared to using DMZ (see DMZ
on page 36) in which DMZ forwards all ports
instead of only specific ports used by an application. Since most ISPs constantly change
your home IP address, to be able to access the Virtual Server port(s) from the Internet it
is recommended to setup Dynamic DNS service (see “
Identify your network over the
Internet” section on page 33).
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page
on page 25).
2. Click on Access, and click on Port Forwarding.
3. Review the port forwarding settings. Click Save Settings to save settings.
Check the option to the left most of the entry to enable and uncheck to disable.
NameEnter a name for the virtual server.
Note: You can also click the Application Name drop-down list to select from a
predefined list of applications and click << to copy the information into the fields.
IP Address: Enter the IP address of the device to forward the port (e.g.
192.168.10.101).
Note: You can also click the Computer Name drop-down list to select a computer
from the DHCP client list and click << to copy the information into the field.
Public Port Enter the port range used to access the device from the Internet.
Private PortEnter the port number required by your device. Refer to the
connecting device’s documentation for reference to the network port(s) required.
Traffic Type: Select the protocol required for your device. TCP or UDP.
Note: Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and
protocols are required. You should assign a static IP address to the device or use
DHCP reservation to ensure the IP address of the device does not change.
