N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Port Forwarding and Port Triggering By default, the modem router blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies to your outbound traffic. You might need to create exceptions to this rule for these purposes: • To enable remote computers on the Internet to access a server on your local network. • To enable certain applications and games to work correctly if the modem router does not recognize their replies.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Your modem router then sends this request message through the Internet to the web server at www.example.com. 4. The web server at www.example.com composes a return message with the requested web page data. The return message contains the following address and port information. The web server then sends this reply message to your modem router: • Source address. The IP address of www.example.com • Source port number.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 stores the original information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server. 4. Noting your port triggering rule and having observed the destination port number of 6667, your modem router creates an additional session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer. 5.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined: 1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your modem router. The remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information: • Destination address. The IP address of www.example.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers The port forwarding feature lets you allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet. Use the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen to configure the modem router to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Manage Custom Services for Port Forwarding Before you define a service, game, or application that does not display in the Service Name menu on the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen, first determine which port number or range of numbers the application uses. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or news groups. When you have the port number information, follow these steps.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 8. Specify the internal ports by one of these methods: • Leave the Use the same port range for Internal port check box selected. • Fill in the Internal Starting Port. Note: The Internal Ending Port field is masked out because the ending port number is calculated automatically by using the same range as the external port range. 9. Specify the internal IP address by one of these methods: • In the Internal IP Address fields, type the internal IP address.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server. To make a local web server public: 1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP address reservation. In this example, your modem router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.0.33. 2.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Manage Port Triggering By default, port triggering is enabled with a time-out period of 20 minutes. The time-out value controls the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound ports close when the inactivity time expires. This is required because the modem router cannot detect when the application has terminated.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Manage Port Triggering Services To configure port triggering services, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs, and the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or news groups. To add a port triggering service: 1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Note: If you are not sure which protocol to select, select TCP/UDP. 9. In the Starting Port field, enter the starting port number for the inbound connection. 10. In the Ending Port field, enter the ending port number for the inbound connection. If the inbound connection uses a single port number, enter that number in both fields. 11. Click the Apply button.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 The service is removed from the Port Triggering Portmap Table on the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen. Dynamic DNS If your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you a permanently assigned (fixed) IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS).
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 This is the name that you use to log in to your account, not your host name. 7. In the Password field, type the password or key for your Dynamic DNS account. 8. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved.
