56 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Routers NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the Internet, which protect the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device in the local network. With forwarding feature the router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and allows the external hosts in the Internet to initiatively communicate with the devices in the local network, thus to realize some special functions. TP-LINK router includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP and DMZ. This chapter contains the following sections:
Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 10. 1. Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the Internet, Virtual Server can realize the service and provide it to the Internet users. At the same time virtual server can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from the Internet. Virtual server can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port. 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:
How can I do that?
Share my personal website Ive built in local network with my friends through the Internet. For example, the personal website has been built in my home PC (192.168.0.100). I hope that my friends in 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. Personal Website Router LAN WAN: 218.18.232.154 Home 1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100. 2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router. 3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Virtual Servers, click Add. 4. Click View Existing Services, and select HTTP. The external port, internal port and protocol will be automatically filled with contents. Enter the PCs IP address 192.168.0.100 in the Internal IP field. 5. Click OK to save the settings. 58 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Done!
Tips:
1. 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. 2. If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the service need. 3. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a router. Please note that the External Port should not be overlapped. Users in the Internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example:
http:// 218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website. Tips:
1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN refer to 12. 4. Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account. Then you can use http:// domain name to visit the website. 2. 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 in 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 and video players. Common applications include 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 the username and password you set for the router. 59 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click Add. 3. Click View Existing Applications, and select the desired application. The external port, internal port and protocol will be automatically filled with contents. The following picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example. 4. Click OK to save the settings. Tips:
1. You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need. 2. 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 Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in 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:
DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. 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. 60 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding How can I do that?
For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can login normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ with all ports opened. 1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100. 2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router. 3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and select the checkbox to enable DMZ. 4.

10. 4. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the 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 in the both sides of NAT device can freely communicate with each other 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:
1. UPnP is enabled by default in this router. 2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature. 3. 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. 61 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding LAN WAN Xbox Router If necessary, you can follow the steps to change the status of UPnP. 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router;
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > UPnP and toggle on or off according to your needs. 62 VPN Server The VPN (Virtual Private Networking) Server allows you to access your home network in a secured way through Internet when you are out of home. The router offers two ways to setup VPN connection: OpenVPN and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN. OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with greater security and more stable. It is suitable for restricted environment, such as campus network and company intranet. PPTP VPN is more easily used and its speed is faster, its compatible with most operating systems and also supports mobile devices.

1 2 3 | Users Manual Part 3 | Users Manual | 3.88 MiB |
Customize Your Network Settings the IP address of the company network is the destination IP address, so here enters 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 enters 255.255.255.255. 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 routers IP which sends out the data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of Router 2 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 the data packets. In the example, the data is sent to the gateway through the LAN port, so LAN should be selected. Status: Determines the status of the entry. In the example, Enabled should be selected. 6. Click OK to save the settings. 7. Check the System Routing Table below. If you can find the entry you set, the static routing is set successfully. Done!

Set up a VPN Connection VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network established across the public network, generally via the Internet. However, the private network is a logical network without any physical network lines, so it is called Virtual Private Network. With the wide application of the Internet, more and more data are needed to be shared through the Internet. Connecting the local network to the Internet directly, though can 83 Chapter 12 Customize Your Network Settings allow the data exchange, will cause the private data to be exposed to all the users on the Internet. The VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology is developed and used to establish the private network through the public network, which can provides a secure communication to a remote computer or remote network, and guarantee a secured data exchange. IPSec is one of the major implementations of VPNs. I want to:
Establish an IPSec VPN tunnel to connect two LANs via Internet so that the hosts in different remote LANs are able to communicate with each as if they are in the same LAN. For example, I am the network administrator of a regional office, I need to let my office staff can visit the headquarters servers and resources, and vice versa. I know that the router in my office and the device in headquarter both support IPSec VPN feature, so I decide to set up a VPN connection with the headquarter office. The following diagram is a typical VPN topology. Here Site A refers to regional offices network (local network). And Site B refers to the headquarters network (remote network) which I want to connect. Site A Site B WAN: 219.134.112.246 WAN: 219.134.112.247 LAN: 192.168.1.1 Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0 LAN: 192.168.2.1 Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0 PC 1 PC 2 How can I do that?
1. Make sure of the topology you want to build and record site A (local network) and site B (remote network)s LAN IP and WAN IP. 2. Configuration on site A (local network). 1 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router. 2 ) Go to Advanced > Network > IPSec VPN to open the configuration page. Click Add to set up a VPN tunnel. 84 Chapter 12 Customize Your Network Settings 3 ) In the IPSec Connection Name column, specify a name. 4 ) In the Remote IPSec Gateway (URL) column, Enter Site Bs WAN IP address. 5 ) To configure Site As LAN:
In the Tunnel access from local IP addresses column, here we take Subnet Address as an example. Then input the LAN IP range of Site A in the IP Address for VPN column, and input Subnet Mask of Site A. 6 ) To configure Site Bs LAN:
In the Tunnel access from remote IP addresses column, here we take Subnet Address as an example. Then input the LAN IP range of Site B in the IP Address for VPN column, and input Subnet Mask of Site B. 7 ) Select the Key Exchange Method for the policy. We select Auto(IKE) here. 85 Chapter 12 Customize Your Network Settings 8 ) Enter the Pre-Shared Key for IKE authentication. Then keep Perfect Forward Secrecy enabled. Note:
The key should consist of visible characters without blank space. Make sure Site A and Site B use the same key. 9 ) Leave the Advanced Settings as default value. Then click OK to save. 3. Configuration on Site B (remote network). Refer to step 2 configuration on Site A and make sure that Site A and Site B use the same Pre-shared keys and Perfect Forward Secrecy settings. 4. The Status column will change to UP if the VPN connection has been set up successfully. 5. Check the VPN connection. You can ping site B LAN IP from your computer in site A to verify that the IPSec VPN connection is set up correctly. Tips: To check the VPN connection, you can do the following. a . On the host in Site A, press [Windows Logo] + [R] to open Run dialog. Input cmd and hit OK. b . In the CLI window, type in ping 192.168.2.x (192.168.2.x can be IP address of any host in Site B). Then press [Enter]. 86 Chapter 12 Customize Your Network Settings If Ping proceeds successfully (gets replies from host in Site B), the IPSec connection is working properly now. Now IPSec VPN is implemented to establish a connection. Done!
Note:
1. The product supports a maximum of ten simultaneous connections. 2. If one of the site has been off line for a while, for example, if Site A has been disconnected, on Site B you need to click Disable and then click Enable after Site A back on line in order to re-establish the IPSec tunnel. 87 Chapter 12 Manage the Router This chapter will show you the configuration for managing and maintaining your router.
