Configuring a Gaming DMZ Host

Caution!

The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the firewall. It is open to communication or hacking from any computer on the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.

Some games and game devices require one of:

•

•

The use of random ports

The forwarding of unsolicited traffic

For example, to connect a PlayStation® 2 for PS2® online gaming, designate it as the gaming DMZ host because the ports required vary from game to game. For these games, we recommend configuring the gaming computer or device as a gaming DMZ device.

To configure a gaming DMZ device, on the Gateway > LAN — dhcp leases Page:

1Reserve a private IP address for the computer or game device MAC address.

2Designate the device as a DMZ device.

You can reserve IP addresses for multiple devices, but only one can be designated as the gaming DMZ at once.
