How to set up port forwarding
Why would I use port forwarding? Port forwarding is a feature that forwards
inbound traffic from the Internet on a specific port or ports to a specific device
or port on your local network. You can set up port forwarding for:
A single port (see “How to set up port forwarding for a single port” below)
Multiple ports (see “How to set up port forwarding for multiple ports” on
page 44)
A range of ports (see “How to set up port forwarding for a range of ports”
on page 44)
How to set up port forwarding for a single port
Why would I use port forwarding for a single port? Single port forwarding
is a feature that forwards inbound traffic from the Internet on a specific port to
a single device on your local network. An example of single port forwarding
would be to forward inbound web requests, typically on port 80, to a web
server.
TIP
See the devices documentation for port and protocol information.
To set up single port forwarding:
1.
Follow your device’s instructions for configuring it with a static IP address
or use DHCP reservation to assign it a permanent address (see “How to
set up the DHCP server on your router” on page 30).
2.

Fi” on page 7.

required).
10.
In the Protocol drop-down list, select TCP, UDP, or Both (default).
11.
In the Device IP# field, enter the last three digits of the IP address you
have reserved for the computer you want to forward Internet traffic to.
The rest of the IP address has already been completed for you.
