EOS – Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding allows you to set up public services on your network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet applications. Specialized Internet applications are any applications that use Internet access to perform functions such as videoconferencing or online gaming. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC.

Application: Enter the name of the application in the field provided.

Protocol: Chose the right protocol TCP,UDP or Both. Set this to what the application requires.

Source Net: Forward only if sender matches this ip/net (example 192.168.1.0/24).

Port from: Enter the number of the external port (the port number seen by users on the Internet).

IP Address: Enter the IP Address of the PC running the application.

Port to: Enter the number of the internal port (the port number used by the application).

Enable: Click the Enable check box to enable port forwarding for the application.
