Section 3 - Configuration

The DIR-857 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically

redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).

The DIR-857 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DIR-857 are invisible

to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on

the requested service, the DIR-857 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.

The DIR-857 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server

computer.

Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are pre-defined virtual services already

in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.
