ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: VIRTUAL SERVERS Page 48 of 77 Virtual Servers In some situations, you might want users on the Internet to be able to access servers on your LAN, such as an FTP Server, Telnet Server or Web Server. Such remote services are accomplished by creating Virtual Server. Each virtual server has its own IP address and shares a single public IP address. It is defined by the Protocol type (TCP, UDP or Both) and a TCP/UDP/Both port number. Only the enabled virtual servers can be accessed by remote users over the Internet. Note - Configuring virtual servers may cause filters to be automatically created on the Filters page. What do you want to do? ▪ Set up a Client PC on the LAN as a Virtual Server ▪ Delete Virtual Servers on the LAN To Set up a Client PC on the LAN as a Virtual Server: 1. On the Advanced navigation bar, click Virtual Servers. The Virtual Servers page appears with a list of existing virtual servers, seen in FIGURE 4-3: ¡

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: STATIC ROUTING Page 73 of 77 Static Routing The Static Routing is used to configure static routes to remote networks manually, where the route is predefined and is not supervised by the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). It can explicitly reduce the network traffic and speed the Internet connects for a small network. However, it may fall into a certain disadvantage. When a static router involves more than one Hop, if the connection to the next hop goes down, the router cannot be aware of the invalid path and continues to route traffic on this hop. On the Static Routing page, you can add up to 20 static routes by indicating: ▪ Destination LAN IP address and Subnet Mask ▪ Remote gateway ▪ Hop ▪ Router interface through which to forward the packets to the destination. Note – If the network topology changes, you may have to make changes to the static routing tables for relevant static routes. What do you want to do? ▪ Add a New Static Route ▪ Delete a Static Route To Add a New Static Route: 1. On the Advanced navigation bar, click Routing.
