Note:

VCs with a single IP share the same DMZ and Virtual servers. For VCs with multiple IPs, each VC can set DMZ and Virtual servers. Also, VCs with multiple IPs can define the Address Mapping rules. VCs with a single IP do not need to individually define the Address Mapping rule.

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its local private network. Typically, the DMZ host contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers.

In the NAT page, choose DMZ, and the page shown in the following figure appears.
