Port Triggering, DMZ and UPnP. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the
corresponding function.
4.8.1 Virtual Servers
Choose menu “Forwarding → Virtual Servers”, you can view and add virtual servers in the
screen as shown in Figure 4-29. Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your
LAN, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests
from the 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 be changed when using the DHCP function.
