Configuring DMZ
A DMZ (Demarcation Zone or Demilitarized Zone) is a sub-network that is behind
the firewall but that is open to the public. By placing your public services on a
DMZ, you can add an additional layer of security to the LAN. The public can
connect to the services on the DMZ but cannot penetrate the LAN. You should
configure your DMZ to include any hosts that must be exposed to the WAN (such
as web or email servers).
The RV315W supports the software DMZ and hardware DMZ features. The
software DMZ allows you to expose an internal host (such as the web or email
server) to the WAN. The hardware DMZ sets the LAN8 port on the back panel to a
DMZ port. This feature is only available when you use Static IP or DHCP to connect
to the Internet.
