NETGEAR Nighthawk RS400 User Manual

Manage port forwarding to a local server for
services and applications
If a server is part of your network, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach
the server. For example, if your router supports such a configuration, you might want
to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the
Internet.
The router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your
local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a
default DMZ server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.
Forward incoming traffic for a default service or application
You can forward traffic for a default service or application to a computer on your network.
To forward incoming traffic for a default service or application:
1.
Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2.
Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the
service.
The server computer must always receive the same IP address. To specify this setting,
you can use the reserved IP address feature.
3.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
4.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
5. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
6.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering.
The Port Forwarding / Port Triggering page displays.
7. Make sure that the Port Forwarding radio button is selected.
8. From the Service Name menu, select the service or application.
If the service or application that you want to add is not in the list, create a port
forwarding rule with a custom service or application (see Add a port forwarding rule
for a custom service or application on page 155).
