7.1 Firewall
A fi rewall is a network security component in compu-

using a predefi ned fi rewall security policy. The aim
of a fi rewall is to control the transfer between a local
network (LAN) (high trust) and the Internet (low trust).
Firewall: Enabled means that the integrated fi rewall is switched on.
Disabled means that the integrated fi rewall is switched off.
SPI: Enabled means that the integrated packet fi lter is switched on.
Disabled means that the integrated packet fi lter is switched off.
You can fi nd more information about SPI in the glossary.

The most common application areas are in routers and
fi rewalls.

This setting is imperative for router operation of any kind.

7.2.1 DMZ
A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) denotes a computer network
where access to its connected servers is controlled via
security checks.
The systems set up within the DMZ are protected against
other networks (Internet, LAN, for example) using fi re-
walls. This separation allows access to services that are
publicly accessible whilst protecting the internal network
(LAN) against unauthorised access.
DMZ: Enabled means that DMZ the is switched on.
Disabled means that DMZ is switched off.
DMZ Host IP Address: In this fi eld enter the IP address of the computer that has a server/program requiring DMZ.
