2.6.2. Port forwarding
When a computer on the internet sends data to the external IP address of the router (WizFi630A), the
router (WizFi630A) needs to know what to do with the data. Port Forwarding simply tells the
WizFi630A which computer on the local area network to send the data to. When you have port
forwarding rules set up, your router takes the data off of the external IP address:port number and
sends that data to an internal IP address:port number. Port Forwarding rules are created per port. Thus,
a rule set up for port 53 will only work for port 53.
