Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public
If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web requests from
anyone on the Internet to reach your web server.
To make a local web server public:
1.
Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP address
reservation.

In this example, your
modem router
always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.0.33.
2.
On the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen, configure the
modem router
to forward the HTTP
service to the local address of your web server at
192.168.0.33
.
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.
3.
(Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and specify that name on the Dynamic
DNS screen of the
modem router
.
Dynamic DNS makes it much easier to access a server from the Internet because you can enter the
name in the Internet browser. Otherwise, you must know the IP address that the ISP assigned, which
typically changes.
How the
Modem Router
Implements the Port Forwarding
Rule
The following sequence shows the effects of a port forwarding rule:
1.
When you enter the URL www.example.com in your browser, the browser sends a web page request
message with the following destination information:
•
Destination address
.The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your
modem
router
.
•
Destination port number
. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.
2.
The
modem router
receives the message and finds your port forwarding rule for incoming port 80
traffic.
3.
The
modem router
changes the destination IP address in the message to 192.168.0.123 and sends
the message to that computer.
4.
Your web server at IP address 192.168.0.123 receives the request and sends a reply message to
your
modem router
.
5.
Your
modem router
performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address and sends
the reply through the Internet to the computer or WiFi device that sent the web page request.
Manage Port Triggering for Services and Applications
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:
•
An application must use port forwarding to more than one local computer (but not simultaneously).
•
An application must open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.
With port triggering, the
modem router
monitors traffic to the Internet from an outbound “trigger” port that
you specify. For outbound traffic from that port, the
modem router
saves the IP address of the computer
that sent the traffic. The
modem router
temporarily opens the incoming port or ports that you specify in
your rule and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.

Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local computer.
Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and close the ports when they
are no longer needed.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance, enable Universal
Note
Plug and Play (UPnP). See
Improve Network Connections with Universal Plug and Play
on page 171.
Add a Port Triggering Rule
The
modem router
does not provide default services and applications for port triggering rules.You must
define a custom service or application for each port triggering rule.
To add a port triggering rule:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the
modem router
.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
4.
Click the
OK
button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering
.
The Port Forwarding / Port Triggering page displays.
