Objective

Port forwarding lets you map external ports on a router to internal ports on machines in the local network. This lets services that are inside the internal network become visible to users on the external network. For gateway devices, port forwarding also lets NAT-enabled gateways to translate traffic bound for specific devices within the internal network.

The objective of this document is to explain how to configure single port forwarding on the RV110W.

Applicable Devices

• RV110W

Single Port Forwarding

Step 1. In the web configuration utility choose Firewall > Single Port Forwarding. The Single Port Forwarding page opens.

Step 2. In the Application field, enter the name of the protocol or service you want to configure port forwarding for.

Step 3. In the External Port field, enter the port number that triggers this rule when a connection request from the external network is made.

Step 4. In the Internal Port field, enter the port number used by the device on the internal network to respond to the request it receives.

Step 5. From the Protocol drop-down list, choose a transport protocol:

• TCP — Transport protocol that is secure, but slower than UDP.

• UDP — Transport protocol that is faster than TCP, but less secure.

• TCP&UDP — Either transport protocol is accepted.

Step 6. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the host on the internal network to which the specific IP traffic will be forwarded.

Step 7. Check the Enable check box to enable the rule.

Step 8. Click Save.
