7.1 Virtual Service
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)
