Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding can be used to open certain ports of a device
to communicate with an Internet service. If a computer in your
LAN is configured as a Web server, a designated port must also
be opened for devices from the Internet to communicate with
this server.
Name: The name of the service for which the port forwarding
rule has been created
WAN port: Type the value range of the WAN port.
LAN IP address: The IP address of the computer on the local
network to which the traffic will be forwarded
LAN port: Type the value range of the LAN port.
Protocol: The layer-4 protocol that the service uses. This can
be TCP, UDP, or both. If you are unsure, select the TCP/UPD
option.
Status: Select On or Off as the status of the service.

forwarding rule has been created.
