Virtual Server The FIREWALL VPN ROUTER Office Firewall separates an enterprise’s Intranet and Internet into internal networks and external networks respectively. Generally speaking, in order to allocate enough IP addresses for all computers, an enterprise assigns each computer a private IP address, and converts it into a real IP address through Firewall’s NAT (Network Address Translation) function.

virtual server to the private internal IP address of the physical server that supports the services. Therefore users from the external network can access servers of the internal network by requesting the service from the IP address provided by Virtual Server. - 137 -...
Mapped IP Internal private IP addresses are translated through NAT (Network Address Translation). If a server is located in the internal network, it has a private IP address, and outside users cannot connect directly to internal servers’ private IP address. To connect to an internal network server, outside users have to first connect to a real IP address of the external network, and the real IP is translated to a private IP of the internal network.

Virtual Server Virtual server is a one-to-many mapping technique, which maps a real IP address from the external interface to private IP addresses of the internal network. This is done to provide services or applications defined in the Service menu to enter into the internal network. Unlike a mapped IP which binds an external IP to an Internal/DMZ IP, virtual server binds external IP ports to Internal IP ports.
