Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.Figure 34 Virtual Servers  Table 32   Virtual Servers LABEL DESCRIPTIONAdd Click this button to create a new entry.Remove Select entries and click the Remove button to delete them.

A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.These are the rules the Router has created using UPnP.External Port  This is the external port number that identifies a service.Internal This is the internal port number that identifies a service.Client IP This is the IP address of the device for which the Router created the UPnP rule. Protocol This is the protocol of the traffic for which the Router created the UPnP rule. Table 32   Virtual Servers (continued)LABEL DESCRIPTION
Chapter 6    Network Address Translation (NAT) 64You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. You can allocate a server IP address that corresponds to a port or a range of ports.Figure 35 Virtual Servers Add

With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service (coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN). The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN computer's IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer's IP address.
Chapter 6    Network Address Translation (NAT) 66Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using the service. The Router records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port). When the Router's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol ("open" port), the Router forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that sent the request. After that computer’s connection for that service closes, another computer on the LAN can use the service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP address each time you want a different LAN computer to use the application.For example:Figure 36 Trigger Port Forwarding Process: Example1Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).2Port 7070 is a “trigger” port and causes the Router to record Jane’s computer IP address. The Router associates Jane's computer IP address with the "open" port range of 6970-7170.3The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.4The Router forwards the traffic to Jane’s computer IP address. 5Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or times out. The Router times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol) or two hours with TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).

12Chapter Chapter 12    UPnP 103CHAPTER 12 Chapter 12 UPnP12.1   UPnPUniversal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.Use the UPnP screen to enable the UPnP feature on your Router. Click Advanced Setup > UPnP.Figure 65  UPnPTable 61   UPnPLABEL DESCRIPTIONUPnP Select Enable to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen without entering the Router's IP address (although you must still enter the password to access the web configurator).Apply/Save Click this button to save your changes.Network Connections: My Network Places: Properties: Example

14Chapter Chapter 14    Interface Grouping 105CHAPTER 14 Chapter 14 Interface Grouping14.1   Interface GroupingBy default, all LAN and WAN interfaces on the Router are in the same group and can communicate with each other. Create interface groups to have the Router assign the IP addresses in different domains to different groups. Each group acts as an independent network on the Router. This lets devices connected to an interface group’s LAN interfaces communicate through the interface group’s WAN or LAN interfaces but not other WAN or LAN interfaces.You can manually add a LAN interface to a new group. Alternatively, you can have the Router automatically add the incoming traffic and the LAN interface on which traffic is received to an interface group when its DHCP Vendor ID option information matches one listed for the interface group. Use the LAN screen to configure the private IP addresses the DHCP server on the Router assigns to the clients in the default and/or user-defined groups. If you set the Router to assign IP addresses based on the client’s DHCP Vendor ID option information, you must enable DHCP server and configure LAN TCP/IP settings for both the default and user-defined groups.

15Chapter Chapter 15    IP Tunnel 109CHAPTER 15 Chapter 15 IP Tunnel15.1 IPv6inIPv4 (6RD)Use IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD) when the local network uses IPv6 and the ISP has an IPv4 network. When the Router has an IPv4 WAN address and is configured to IPv4 only, you can enable 6RD to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to cross the ISP’s IPv4 network. The Router generates a global IPv6 prefix from its IPv4 WAN address and tunnels IPv6 traffic to the ISP’s Border Relay router (BR in the figure) to connect to the native IPv6 Internet. The local network can also use IPv4 services. The Router uses it’s configured IPv4 WAN IP to route IPv4 traffic to the IPv4 Internet.Figure 69 ISP (IPv4) IPv6 Internet IPv4 IPv6 BRIPv6 in IPv4IPv4 InternetIPv4 +LAN- IPv6- IPv4WAN- IPv4- IPv6 in IPv4IPv6 Rapid DeploymentClick Advanced Setup > IP Tunnel > IPv6inIPv4 to view and configure IPv6 through IPv4 tunneling.
