Since the assigned name is mapped to an IP address, the device’s IP address should not change. To ensure that the device keeps the same IP
address, go to
NetworkSettings>DHCP Server and reserve the IP address for the device by selecting the device in the ActiveLeases list and
clicking “Reserve”.
Firewall
The router automatically provides a firewall. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the router does not respond to unsolicited incoming
requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to cyber attackers.
However, some network applications cannot run with a tight firewall. Those applications need to selectively open ports in the firewall to function
correctly. The options on this page control ways of opening the firewall to address the needs of specific types of applications.
Select from the following tabs to edit your firewall configuration:
• Port Forwarding Rules
• Network Prefix Translation
• DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone)
• Remote Admin. Access
• Application Gateways
• Firewall Options
• Zone Firewall
PortForwardingRules

be used to run a Web server.
