An example of configuring port mapping
Scenario: You want to share some large files with your friends who are not on your LAN. However,
it is not convenient to transfer such large files across the network.
Goal: Set up your own PC as an FTP server and let your friends access these files.
Solution: You can configure the port mapping function to reach the goal.
Assume that:
−
IP address of the FTP server: 192.168.0.100
−
User name and password of the FTP server: admin
−
Port of the FTP server: 21
−
IP address of the WAN port: 172.16.200.72
To achieve such a goal:
Step 1
Log in to the web UI.
Step 2
Choose More > Advanced > Port Mapping.
Step 3
Click Add.
Step 4
Select your computer for Select Device, 21 (FTP) for Internal Port, and TCP&UDP for
Protocol.
−
You can directly select a client from the drop-down list box, which requires no further settings on
Internal IP Address.
−
If you select Manual, you need to set Internal IP Address manually.
Step 5
Click OK.
