DMZ
If some of your PCs need to run Internet applications that are normally blocked by the
NAT firewall (i.e., online games), you can open those PCs up to unrestricted two-way
Internet access through a virtual DMZ host. DMZ lets you re-direct all packets going to
your WAN port IP address to a particular LAN IP address. While the Virtual Server
function lets you redirect specific services and applications (i.e., FTP, websites) to a
particular LAN client, a DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) going to your
WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.
When you are satisfied with your DMZ settings, click Apply.
Parameter
Description
Enable DMZ
Check this box to enable your DMZ.
NOTE: If there is a conflict between the Virtual
Server and DMZ settings, the Virtual Server will
have priority (see Virtual Server on page 40).
Public IP Address
The public IP address of the WAN port or any
Public IP address 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 the LAN PC clients a
fixed/static IP address outside the specified pool
(see LAN on page 28) for Virtual Server to work
properly.
