Choose menu “Forwarding → Virtual Servers”, you can view and add virtual servers in the
screen as shown in Figure 4-32. Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on you

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.

You can leave it blank if the Internal Port is the same as the Service Port, or enter a specific
