DMZ
Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the router supports use of a DMZ IP
address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and will therefore
be visible to agents on the Internet with the right type of software. Keep in mind that any client
PC in the DMZ will be exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take
measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client PCs on your
LAN from possible contamination through the DMZ.
DMZ menu
To designate a DMZ IP address, select the Enabled
radio button, type in the
IP Address
of the
server or device on your LAN, and click the
Apply
button. To remove DMZ status from the
designated IP address, select the Disabled radio button and click Apply. It will be necessary to
save the settings and reboot the router before the DMZ is activated.
