6.3.2 Demilitarized Zone Setup
Configuring a device on the LAN as a demilitarized zone (DMZ) host allows unrestricted two-way Internet access for Internet applica-
tions, such as online video games, to run from behind the NAT firewall. The DMZ function allows the router to redirect all packets
going to the WAN port IP address to a particular IP address on the LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ func-
tion is that a virtual server redirects a particular service or Internet application, such as FTP, to a particular LAN client or server,
whereas a DMZ redirects all packets, regardless of the service, going to the WAN IP address to a particular LAN client or server.
A DMZ host allows a computer to have all its connections and ports completely open during data transmission.
Note:
This section applies to Client Router mode.
WARNING!
The PC defined as a DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and is vulnerable to malicious network attacks. Do not store or
manage sensitive information on the DMZ host.
