N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v4
Port Forwarding to Permit External Host
Communications
In both of the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a
server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the
Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your modem
router ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can
configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature.
A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server
relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computers
browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using
port forwarding, you can tell the modem router, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80
(the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at
192.168.0.123.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you
have defined:
1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from
www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your modem router. The
remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination
information:
Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your
modem router.
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server
process.
The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your
modem router.
2. Your modem router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules
covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that
incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.0.123. Therefore,
your modem router modifies the destination information in the request message:
The destination address is replaced with 192.168.0.123.
Your modem router then sends this request message to your local network.
3. Your web server at 192.168.0.123 receives the request and composes a return message
with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends this reply message to your
modem router.
4. Your modem router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address,
and sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which
displays the web page from www.example.com.
To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.
You usually can determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or
the relevant user groups or news groups.
