Chapter 14 Network Address Translation (NAT) Note: Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP. Port forwarding allows you to define the local servers to which the incoming services will be forwarded. To change your Router's port forwarding settings, click Network > NAT > Application. The screen appears as shown. Note: If you do not assign a Default Server IP address in the NAT > General screen, the Router discards all packets received for ports that are not specified in this screen or remote management. Refer to Appendix D on page 223 for port numbers commonly used for particular services. Figure 84 Network > NAT > Application The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 51 Network > NAT > Application LABEL DESCRIPTION Add Application Rule Active Select the check box to enable this rule and the requested service can be forwarded to the host with a specified internal IP address. Service Name Port Clear the checkbox to disallow forwarding of these ports to an inside server without having to delete the entry. Type a name (of up to 31 printable characters) to identify this rule in the first field next to Service Name. Otherwise, select a predefined service in the second field next to Service Name. The predefined service name and port number(s) will display in the Service Name and Port fields. Type a port number(s) to define the service to be forwarded to the specified server. To specify a range of ports, enter a hyphen (-) between the first port and the last port, such as 10-20. Server IP Address To specify two or more non-consecutive port numbers, separate them by a comma without spaces, such as 123,567. Type the IP address of the server on your LAN that receives packets from the port(s) specified in the Port field. NBG6503 User's Guide 119
