2.4.4 DMZ
If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from
behind the NAT firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access
by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN
port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server
and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application
(e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets
(regardless of services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.
Parameters
Description
Enable
You have to check this box to enable the DMZ
function.
Note
: If there is a conflict between the Virtual
Server and the DMZ setting, then Virtual Server
function will have priority over the DMZ function.
Public IP
The WAN IP address that a particular DMZ host in your
LAN will be mapped to.
Private IP
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 your LAN PC clients a
fixed/static IP address for DMZ to work properly.
You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings
in place)
