Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server. To make a local web server public: 1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP address reservation. In this example, your modem router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.1.55. 2. On the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering page, configure the modem router to forward the HTTP service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.55. HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers. Manage Port Forwarding and Port Triggering 171
