2.7.4 DMZ
If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g.
Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open the
client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host.
The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN
port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference
between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server
re-directs a particular service/Internet application to a particular LAN
client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services)
going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.
Parameters Description
Enable DMZ
Enable/disable DMZ
Note
: If there is a conflict between the Virtual
Server and the DMZ setting, then Virtual Server
function will have priority over the DMZ function.
Public IP Address
The IP address of the WAN port or any other Public
IP addresses given to you by your ISP
Client PC IP Address Input the IP address of a particular host in your
LAN that will receive all the packets originally going
to the WAN port/Public IP address above
Note:
You need to give your LAN PC clients a
fixed/static IP address for DMZ to work properly.
