Chapter 10

NAT Forwarding

The router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes devices on the LAN use

the same public IP address to communicate with devices on the internet, which protects

the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about

the problem that an external host cannot initiatively communicate with a specified

device on the local network.

With the forwarding feature the router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and allows

devices on the internet to initiatively communicate with devices on the local network,

thus realizing some special functions.

The TP-Link router supports four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the

priority of implementation from high to low is Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, UPNP

and DMZ.

It contains the following sections:

• Share Local Resources on the Internet by Port Forwarding

• Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

• Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP

• Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

42

Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding

10. 1. Share Local Resources on the Internet by Port

Forwarding

When you build up a server on the local network and want to share it on the internet,

Port Forwarding can realize the service and provide it to internet users. At the same

time Port Forwarding can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible

from the internet.

Port Forwarding can be used for setting up public services on your local network,

such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different services use different

service ports. Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP

service and port 110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the

configuration.

I want to:

Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the internet.

For example, the personal website has been built on my home PC (192.168.0.100). I hope

that my friends on the internet can visit my website in some way. The PC is connected

to the router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

INTERNET

WAN: 218.18.232.154LANHome

Personal Website Router

How can I do that?

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100.

2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Forwarding.

4. Click .

5. Click VIEW COMMON SERVICES and select HTTP. The External Port, Internal Port

and Protocol will be automatically filled in.

6. Click VIEW CONNECTED DEVICES and select your home PC. The Device IP

Address will be automatically filled in. Or enter the PC’s IP address manually in the

Device IP Address field.

7. Click SAVE .

Tips:

• It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which port and

protocol to use.

• If the service you want to use is not in the common services list, you can enter the corresponding parameters

manually. You should verify the port number that the service needs.

• You can add multiple port forwarding rules if you want to provide several services in a router. Please note that the

External Port should not be overlapped.

Done!

Users on the internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example: http:// 218.18.232.154)

to visit your personal website.

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

44

Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding

Tips:

• The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is recommended to

apply and register a domain name for the WAN referring to Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ.

Then users on the internet can use http:// domain name to visit the website.

• If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http:// WAN IP: External Port or http:// domain name:

External Port to visit the website.

10. 2. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.

When a host on the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the

external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the

IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports, the

router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port Triggering is mainly applied to

online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN Gaming

Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.

Follow the steps below to configure the Port Triggering rules:

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click .

3. Click VIEW COMMON SERVICES, and select the desired application. The Triggering

Port, Triggering Protocol and External Port will be automatically filled in. The following

picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

45

Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding

4. Click SAVE .

Tips:

• You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need.

• The triggering ports can not be overlapped.

• If the application you need is not listed in the Existing Applications list, please enter the parameters manually. You

should verify the external ports the application uses first and enter them into External Port field according to the

format the page displays.

10. 3. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by

UPnP

The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows applications or host devices

to automatically find the front—end NAT device and send request to it to open the

corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on the

local network and the internet can freely communicate with each other thus realizing

the seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you

want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time

communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.

Tips:

• UPnP is enabled by default in this router.

• Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.

• UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of

operating system need to install the UPnP components).

For example, when you connect your Xbox to the router which has connected to

the internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the router to open the

corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to transmit.

Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

46

Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding

Internet

If necessary, you can follow the steps to change the status of UPnP.

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > UPnP and toggle on or off according to your

needs.

10. 4. Make Applications Free from Port Restriction

by DMZ

When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on the local network, it is totally

exposed to the internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication

between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with

all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special

applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ

host.

Note:

When DMZ is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If

DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.

I want to:

Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction.

For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can log

in normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC

as a DMZ host with all ports open.

How can I do that?

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100.

2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and tick to enable DMZ.

4. Click VIEW CONNECTED DEVICES and select your PC. The Device IP

Address will be automatically filled in. Or enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.0.100

manually in the DMZ Host IP Address field.

5. Click SAVE .

Done!

The configuration is completed. You’ve set your PC to a DMZ host and now you can

make a team to game with other players.

11. 5. Create Static Routes

Static routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by a network administrator

or a user by adding entries into a routing table. The manually-configured routing

information guides the router in forwarding data packets to the specific destination.

I want to:

Visit multiple networks and servers at the same time.

Company’s server

PC

Router BRouter A

Switch

LAN: 192.168.0.1

192.168.0.100

LAN: 192.168.0.2

WAN: 172.30.30.100

172.30.30.1

For example, in a small office, my PC can surf the internet through Router A, but I also

want to visit my company’s network. Now I have a switch and Router B. I connect the

devices as shown in the following figure so that the physical connection between my

PC and my company’s server is established. To surf the internet and visit my company’s

Картинка с сайта: manual-pdf.com

54

Chapter 11 Customize Your Network Settings

network at the same time, I need to configure the static routing.

How can I do that?

1. Change the routers’ LAN IP addresses to two different IP addresses on the same

subnet. Disable Router B’s DHCP function.

2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

Router A.

3. Go to Advanced > Network > Routing.

4. Click Add and finish the settings according to the following explanations:

• Network Destination: The destination IP address that you want to assign to a static

route. This IP address cannot be on the same subnet with the WAN IP or LAN IP of

Router A. In the example, the IP address of the company network is the destination IP

address, so here enter 172.30.30.1.

• Subnet Mask: Determines the destination network with the destination IP address.

If the destination is a single IP address, enter 255.255.255.255; otherwise, enter the

subnet mask of the corresponding network IP. In the example, the destination network

is a single IP, so here enter 255.255.255.255.

• Default Gateway: The IP address of the gateway device to which the data packets will

be sent. This IP address must be on the same subnet with the router’s IP which sends

out data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of Router B and

then to the Server, so the default gateway should be 192.168.0.2.

• Interface: Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends out data packets. In the

example, the data are sent to the gateway through the LAN port of Router A, so LAN/

WLAN should be selected.

• Description: Enter a description for this static routing entry.

5. Click SAVE .
