4.9 Forwarding TL-WR1042ND 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router Figure 4-46 The Forwarding menu There are four submenus under the Forwarding menu (shown in Figure 4-46): Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, DMZ and UPnP. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the corresponding function. 4.9.1 Virtual Servers Choose menu "Forwarding→Virtual Servers", and then you can view and add virtual servers in the next screen (shown in Figure 4-47). Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your LAN. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from Internet to this service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was used for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP address because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function. Figure 4-47 Virtual Servers ¾ Service Port - The numbers of External Service Ports. You can enter a service port or a range of service ports (the format is XXX - YYY; XXX is the Start port and YYY is the End port). ¾ Internal Port - The Internal Service Port number of the PC running the service application. You can leave it blank if the Internal Port is the same as the Service Port, or enter a specific port number when Service Port is a single one. ¾ IP Address - The IP address of the PC running the service application. ¾ Protocol - The protocol used for this application, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols supported by the Router). ¾ Status - The status of this entry, "Enabled" means the virtual server entry is enabled. -55-
