Virtual Servers
This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally,
Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:
•
Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address.
•
Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device.
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your
servers, as illustrated below.
Figure 31: Virtual Servers
IP Address seen by Internet Users
Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but
using different protocols.
To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address.
This IP Address is allocated by your ISP.
This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to
connect to your Servers.
However, you can use the
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
feature to allow users to connect to your
Virtual Servers using a URL, instead of an IP Address.

Using the DMZ port for Virtual Servers
You should connect your Virtual Servers to the DMZ port, for the following reasons:
•
Traffic passing between the DMZ and LAN passes through the firewall. The firewall will
protect your LAN if your Server is compromised and used to launch an attack on your
LAN.
•
For each enabled Virtual Server, a firewall rule to allow incoming traffic from the Internet
(WAN) to the DMZ is automatically created. If the Server is connected to the LAN (hub)
ports, you must add the firewall rule manually.
Note that the DMZ port is a normal port, not an "uplink" port. If connecting to a hub, connect
to the standard port on the hub.
Virtual Servers Screen

Virtual Servers
screen is reached by the
Virtual Servers
link on the
Internet

example screen is shown below.
Figure 32: Virtual Servers Screen
This screen lists a number of pre-defined Servers,. providing a quick and convenient method to
set up the common server types.

Defining your own Virtual Servers
If the type of Server you wish to use is not listed on the
Virtual Servers
screen, you can use the
Firewall Rules to allow particular incoming traffic and forward it to a specified PC (Server).
Connecting to the Virtual Servers
Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use
the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP).
e.g.
It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic.
However, you can use the
Dynamic DNS
feature, described in the following section, to allow
users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
Options
This screen allows advanced users to enter or change a number of settings. For normal opera-
tion, there is no need to use this screen or change any settings.

IP Address
Enter the IP Address of the DNS (Domain Name Servers) here. These
DNS will be used only if the primary DNS is unavailable.

MTU size
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value should only be changed if
advised to do so by Technical Support.
•
Enter a value between 1 and 1500.
•
This device will still auto-negotiate with the remote server, to set
the MTU size. The smaller of the 2 values (auto-negotiated, or en-
tered here) will be used.
•
For direct connections (not PPPoE or PPTP), the MTU used is
always 1500.
