5.7.4DMZ

If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets from your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) to one particular LAN client/server.

Parameters

Description

Enable DMZ

Enable/disable DMZ.

 

Note: If there is a conflict between the Virtual Server and the DMZ setting,

 

the Virtual Server function will have priority over the DMZ function.

 

 

Public IP Address

The IP address of the WAN port or any other Public IP addresses given to

 

you by your ISP.

 

 

Client PC IP Address

Input the IP address of a particular host in your LAN that will receive all the

 

packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above.

 

Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a fixed/static IP address for

 

DMZ to work properly.
