5.7.4 DMZ
If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind
the NAT firewall, 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 from 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) to one
particular LAN client/server.
Parameters
Description
Enable DMZ
Enable/disable DMZ.
Note:
If there is a conflict between the Virtual Server and the DMZ setting,
the Virtual Server function will have priority over the DMZ function.
Public IP Address
The IP address of the WAN port or any other Public IP addresses 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 your LAN PC clients a fixed/static IP address for
DMZ to work properly.
