Field Name | Description |
|
DMZ Host | Use this page to configure an IP address that is |
|
(Demilitarized Zone) | visible to the wide area network (WAN). DMZ |
|
| hosting is commonly referred to as “exposed |
|
| host,” and allows you to specify the “default” |
|
| recipient of WAN traffic that Network Address |
|
| Translation (NAT) is unable to translate to a |
|
| known local PC. |
|
| A DMZ is used by a company that wants to host |
|
| its own Internet services without sacrificing |
|
| unauthorized access to its private network. DMZ |
|
| allows one IP address to be unprotected while |
|
| others remain protected. The DMZ is located |
|
| between the Internet and an internal network's |
|
| line of defense that is a combination of firewalls |
|
| and bastion hosts. |
|
| Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to |
|
| Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP |
|
| servers, SMTP |
|
| system (DNS) servers |
|
|
|
|
IP Address | Allows the user with network administrator |
|

|
| devices in the private LAN network to be |
|
| assigned public IP addresses instead of private IP |
|
| addresses. |
