NAT Forwarding

Modem router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the

LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the Internet, which protects the

local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the

problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device

in the local network.

With forwarding feature the modem router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and

allows the external hosts in the Internet to initiatively communicate with the devices in

the local network, thus to realize some special functions.

TP-LINK modem router includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the

priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP

and DMZ.

This chapter contains the following sections:

•

Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server

•

Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

•

Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ

Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual

Server

When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the Internet,

Virtual Server can realize the service and provide it to the Internet users. At the same

time virtual server can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible

from the Internet.

Virtual server can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as

HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port.

Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port

110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration

.

share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my

friends through the Internet.

For example

, the personal website has been built in my home PC

(192.168.1.100). I hope that my friends in the Internet can visit

my website in some way. The PC is connected to the modem

router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

Tips:

1.

It is recommended to keep the default settings of

if you

are not clear about which port and protocol to use.

2. If the service you want to use is not in the

Type

, you can enter the

corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the

service needs.

3.

You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a

modem router. Please note that the

External

Port

cannot be overlapped.

Users in the Internet can enter

http://WAN IP

(in this example:

http://218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.

Tips:

1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by

ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN by DDNS,

go to

Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account

for more information. Then you can

use

http://domain name

to visit the website.

2. If you have changed the default

External Port

, you should use

http://WAN IP:

or

http://domain name: External Port

to visit the website.

Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When

a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external

ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The modem router can record the IP

address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the

applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN

Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by

DMZ

When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally

exposed to the Internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication

between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with
