2.6.2 Virtual Server
Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle different service/Internet
application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. Computers use numbers called port numbers to
recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port
number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port number. (See Glossary
for an explanation on Port number)

will be changed to when the packet enters your LAN (to the LAN Server/Client IP)

to the default both protocols.
