DDS RUT500 Router

DMZ
By enabling DMZ for a specific internal host (for e.g.: your computer), you will expose that host and its services to the
routers WAN network (i.e. - internet).
Port Forwarding
Here you can define your own port forwarding rules.
You can use port forwarding to set up servers and services on local LAN machines. The above picture shows how you
can set up a rule that would allow a website that is being hosted on 192.168.99.156, to be reached from the outside by
entering http://routersExternalIp:12345/ .
Field Name Sample Value Explanation
1. Name “localWebsite” Name of the rule. Used purely to make it easier to manage rules.
2. Protocol TCP/UDP/TCP+UDP/Other Type of protocol of incoming packet.
3. External Port 1- 65535 From what port on the WAN network will the traffic be
forwarded.
4. Internal IP address IPv4 address of some
computer on your LAN
The IP address of the internal machine that hosts some service
that we want to access from the outside.
5. Internal port 1-65535 To what port on the internal machine would the rule redirect the
traffic.
Additional note: Notice how the external port is 12345 and not 80. It is perfectly fine to define the external port as 80,
but then the routers configuration interface would not reachable (unless you change the web access port from remote
management).
When you click edit you can fine tune a rule to near perfection, if you should desire that.
Traffic Rules
The traffic rule page contains a more generalised rule definition. With it you can block or open ports, alter how traffic is
forwarded between LAN and WAN and many more things.
