The following are the basics for setting up an 802.11n AirPorts for port mapping/forwarding:


AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup

To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:


1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the WHS.

AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab

  • On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
  • Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
  • Reserve address by: MAC Address
  • Click Continue.
  • MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the WHS>
  • IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
  • Click Done.


2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.

AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup >Advanced > Port Mapping tab

  • Click the "+" (Add) button
  • Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
  • Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
  • Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
  • Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
  • Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
  • Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
  • Click "Continue"
