Section 3 — Configuration


                                               Virtual Server
The DIR—825 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public
IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).

The DIR—825 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked
with the DIR—825 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible
from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DIR—825 redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.

The DIR—825 is also capable of port—redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a
different port on the server computer.

Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are
pre—defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to
use that particular virtual service.

For a list of ports for common applications, please visit http ://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1191.

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and
others. These applications have difficulties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications
makes some of these applications work with the DIR—825. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections,
specify the port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port" field, select the protocol type as TCP or
UDP, then enter the firewall (public) ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.

The DIR—825 provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application
you want to use and enable it.
       Name: Enter a name for the rule. You may select a

                 Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize thatit needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give
                 the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported
                 slightly lower than before on such connections, but gives much better results.
