Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 User Manual page 107

NOTES:
• When your network's firewall is disabled and you set 80 as the
HTTP server's port range for your WAN setup, then your http
server/web server would be in conflict with the router's web user
interface.
• A network makes use of ports in order to exchange data, with
each port assigned a port number and a specific task. For
example, port 80 is used for HTTP. A specific port can only be used
by one application or service at a time. Hence, two PCs attempting
to access data through the same port at the same time would fail.
For example, you cannot set up Port Forwarding for port 100 for
two PCs at the same time.
• Local IP: Key in the client's LAN IP address.
NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port
forwarding work properly. Refer to section 3.12 LAN for information.
• Local Port: Enter a specific port to receive forwarded
packets. Leave this field blank if you want the incoming
packets to be redirected to the specified port range.
• Protocol: Select the protocol. If you are unsure, select BOTH.
7. Click the Add
list. Click the Delete
from the list.
8. When done, click Apply.
To check if Port Forwarding has been configured successfully:
• Ensure that your server or application is set up and running.
• You will need a client outside your LAN but has Internet
access (referred to as "Internet client"). This client should not
be connected to the ASUS router.
• On the Internet client, use the router's WAN IP to access the
server. If port forwarding has been successful, you should be
able to access the files or applications.
