DMZ
This router supports one of the physical ports to be congured as a secondary WAN Ethernet port or a dedicated
DMZ port. A DMZ is a sub network that is open to the public but behind the rewall. The DMZ adds an additional
layer of security to the LAN, as specic services/ports that are exposed to the internet on the DMZ do not have
to be exposed on the LAN. It is recommended that hosts that must be exposed to the internet (such as web or
email servers) be placed in the DMZ network.
Firewall rules can be allowed to permit access specic services/ports to the DMZ from both the LAN or WAN. In
the event of an attack to any of the DMZ nodes, the LAN is not necessarily vulnerable as well.
DMZ conguration is identical to the LAN conguration. There are no restrictions on the IP address or subnet
assigned to the DMZ port, other than the fact that it cannot be identical to the IP address given to the LAN
interface of this gateway.
Note: DSR-500/1000/500N/1000N/500AC/1000AC, in order to congure a DMZ port, the router’s congurable port
must be set to DMZ in the Network > Internet > DMZ Settings page.
Note: For DSR-150N and DSR-250N, enabling DMZ will result in port 8 of the LAN switch being used for a dedicated
DMZ port. The other 7 LAN ports remain unchanged.
