Virtual Servers
Virtual server feature allows users to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet
users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN
because of native NAT protection.
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to
connect to your servers.
For Internet users to access all virtual Servers on LAN side, they have to
connect to WAN port IP on ADE-3000 allocated by ISP.
To provide server-based service, WAN IP address should be static, rather than
dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers.
However, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service allows users to connect to your Virtual
Servers using a URL, instead of an IP Address.
You can set up public services on your network by configuring the values in the Virtual
Server Configuration page. You may assign certain IP addresses as the destination of
the network information. When users from the Internet make certain requests of your
network, ADE-3000 will forward those requests to the appropriate computer. (Note:
DHCP function must be disabled or the local server itself has to be fix-IP addressed to
use this function.)
This function is generally used to set up a web server, ftp server, or e-mail server on
your network. Figure shows the screen of Virtual Server Configuration page,
