The table displays the relevant parameters of the virtual server.


Service Type - Displays the name of the virtual server.

External Port - Displays the port number or a range of ports used by the virtual server.

Internal IP - Displays the IP address of the computer running the service application.

Protocol - Displays the protocol used for the service application: TCP, UDP, or All (All protocols supported by the router).

To set up a Virtual Server rule

1. Click Add.

2. Click View Existing Applications to select a service from the list to automatically populate the appropriate port number in the External Port and Internal Port fields.

Note:

If the service is not listed, enter the External Port number (e.g. 21) or a range of ports (e.g. 21-25).

If the Internal Port is the same as the External Port, leave the Internal Port blank.

If the External Port is a single one, enter a specific port number (e.g. 21).

In the Internal IP filed, enter the IP address of the computer running the service application in dotted decimal format.

3. Select a protocol for the service application: TCP, UDP, or All from the Protocol drop-down list.

4. Select Enable This Entry.

5. Click Save.


Note:

1. If you want to disable this entry, click the Bulb icon.

2. It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not sure which port or protocol to use.

3. If the local host device is hosting more than one type of available services, you need to create a rule for each service. Please note that the External Port should NOT be overlapped.
