What is Mikrotik Port Forwarding?

Port Forwarding or Port Mapping is a method of forwarding a network port from one network node to another. With Port Forwarding an External user can access a port on a private IP Address in a LAN from outside the local network using a NAT on a Router.

For Example, If you have a web server hosted on your local server and you want to access that webserver from an external Network, ie WEB, then you will need to configure port forwarding in Mikrotik Router.
