DMZ Addresses
The SonicWALL provides security by preventing Internet users from accessing
machines on the LAN. This security, however, also prevents users from reaching public
servers, such as Web or E-mail servers.
The SonicWALL offers a special
DMZ
("Demilitarized Zone") port that provides Internet
access to network servers. The DMZ sits between the local network and the Internet.
Servers on the DMZ are publicly accessible, but they are protected from attacks such
as SYN Flood and Ping of Death. Use of the
DMZ
port is optional.
Using the DMZ is a strongly recommended alternative to placing servers on the WAN
port where they are not protected or establishing Public LAN servers.
Click
Advanced
on the left side of the browser window, and then click the
DMZ
Addresses
tab at the top of the window.
Servers on the
DMZ
need unique, valid IP addresses in the same subnet as the
SonicWALL WAN IP Address. Your ISP should be able to provide these IP addresses,
as well as information on setting up public servers.
