5.3.1To set up a De-Militarised Zone host

A De-Militarised Zone host, or DMZ host, is a separate neutral client sitting between your private network and the WAN.

It initiates WAN connections upon request from your network clients, and forwards the request packets. Similarly, outside users can access only the DMZ host.

You can host Web pages or public information that can be served to the outside world, on the DMZ host.

Setting up DMZ

Click on NAT from the CONFIGURATION menu.

Ensure the NAT Status is enabled.

At the Advanced NAT Options section:

Click on DMZ.

Key in the IP address of the PC you wish to place within the DMZ in the Private IP Address field.

The default Private IP Address is set to 0.0.0.0. For illustration, we entered 192.168.168.55

Click on the Apply button to confirm your entry.

Disable DMZ

Enter 0.0.0.0 as the Private IP

Address.
