A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the router should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired computer or server connected to the other access point. Port Forwarding and Triggering By default, the router blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies to your outbound traffic.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500v2 information and then modifies the source information in the request message, performing Network Address Translation (NAT): • The source address is replaced with your router’s public IP address. This is necessary because your computer uses a private IP address that is not globally unique and cannot be used on the Internet. • The source port number is changed to a number chosen by the router, such as 33333.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500v2 An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can tell the router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you have to also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500v2 Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your router ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature. A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server relationship from the previous web server example.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500v2 • Port triggering does require that you know the computer’s IP address in advance. The IP address is captured automatically. • Port forwarding requires that you specify the computer’s IP address during configuration, and the IP address can never change. • Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500v2 1. Select Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering to display the following screen: Port Forwarding is selected as the service type. 2.
