7.2. Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from
behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions 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.
Enable DMZ: Enable/disable DMZ
LAN IP Address: Fill-in the IP address of a particular host in your LAN Network that will
receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above.
Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
