for dynamic IP address allocation to your clients, or configure filtering functions based on specific

clients or protocols.

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at your local site to access the

Internet through a single public IP address or multiple public IP addresses. NAT can also prevent

hacker attacks by mapping local addresses to public addresses for key services such as the Web or

FTP.

5.4.1 Special Application

Applications such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony require multiple

5.4.2 Virtual Server

19

You can configure the access point as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services

such as the Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to

local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested

service (TCP/UDP port number), the access point redirects the external service request to the

appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).

(1)

Mapping Ports:

The port number of the service used by the server computer. You can use a

comma to add multiple ports or use a dash to give port ranges.
