If you set the service port of the virtual server as 80, you must set the Web management port on 

Security  → Remote Management page to be any other value except 80 such as 8080. 

Otherwise there will be a conflict to disable the virtual server. 

Choose menu “Forwarding→Port Triggering”, you can view and add port triggering entry on this 

page (shown in Figure 4-63). Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, 

video conferencing, Internet telephoning and so on. Port Triggering is useful for those applications 

that cannot work with a pure NAT router.
