corresponding function.
4.12.1 Virtual Servers
Choose menu “Forwarding
Virtual Servers”, and then you can view and add virtual servers in
the next screen (shown in
Figure 4-66). Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services
on your LAN. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from Internet to this
service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was used
for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP address because its IP address may change
when using the DHCP function.
