DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
A DMZ is a network location or IP Address
that is not protected by the firewall. When
enabling DMZ, it is important to note that the
device on the IP Address designated as part of
the DMZ does not have any protection from
the Router’s firewall. The device’s only security would be those built into the operating system.
As a general safety rule, devices placed on the DMZ should not have any other network connections to any
other devices.
Enable DMZ: Enables the Demilitarized Zone.
DMZ Host IP Address: The designated IP Address of the network device to have unrestricted access through
the Router’s Firewall.
