assignments are required for communication. To assign a PC the DMZ
host status, ll in the Private IP address which is identied as the exposed
host and click the Apply button. However, any Internet user who knows
the WAN IP address of the gateway can connect to the DMZ host since
the rewall feature is disabled for this device, causing a potential security
risk to data residing on that host.
Again, it is recommended that IP addresses of DMZ host computers
on the Private Network be manually (statically) assigned to coincide with
a static DMZ host mapping to that specic IP address. DMZ hosts should
not rely on the dynamic IP assignment of DHCP server function which
could create incorrectly mapped IP address assignments to non-DMZ
hosts.
