How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?

Field Name	Description
Port Triggers	Use this link to configure TCP/UDP port triggers.
	Port triggering is similar to port forwarding, but is
	a dynamic function. In other words, the ports are
	not held open, and the ports close if no outgoing
	data is detected on the selected ports for a period
	of 10 minutes
DMZ Host	Use this link 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 (e-mail) servers, and domain name
	system (DNS) servers
VPN Termination	Use this link to create, configure, and control
	Virtual Private Network (VPN) protocols and
	manage Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) VPN
	tunnels.
