Figure 4-48 The Forwarding menu 

There are four submenus under the Forwarding menu (shown in 

): Virtual Servers, 

Port Triggering,  DMZ and UPnP. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the 

corresponding function. 

Choose menu “Forwarding→Virtual Servers”, and then you can view and add virtual servers in 

the next screen (shown in 

). 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.
