DMZ
The DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) feature allows a LAN client to have unrestricted two- way access to the Internet by bypassing the router’s firewall. Useful for applications like Internet gaming, video conferencing, or VPN connections, a DMZ will redirect all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a specific LAN client/server while allowing the rest of your network to remain protected.
Parameter | Description |
Enable DMZ | Select Yes to enable your DMZ. If you select No, |
| none of the rules you enter below will be applied. |
| Note: If there is a conflict between the Virtual |
| Server (see page 27) and the DMZ settings, the |
| Virtual Server will have priority. |
Public IP Address | Enter the IP address of your WAN port or a Public |
| IP address given to you by your ISP. |
Client IP Address | Enter the IP address of the LAN client/host that |
| will receive all the packets intended for the Public |
| IP address listed above. |
| Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a |
| fixed/static IP address outside the specified pool |
| (see page 25) for the DMZ to work properly. |

When you are satisfied with your DMZ settings, click Apply.
