Multi Home LAN IPs

Click Multi Home LAN IPs Setup on the LAN IP Setup screen (see Figure 5-1) to invoke the
Secondary LAN IP Setup screens. This allows the firewall to act as a gateway to additional logical
subnets on your LAN. You can assign the firewall an IP address on each additional logical subnet.

DMZ Setup

The DMZ port feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The firewall is programmed to recognize some of
these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not
function well. In some cases, local PCs can run the application properly if those PC's are used on
the DMZ port.
Note: A separate firewall security is provided for the DMZ port that is independent of the standard
firewall security used for the LAN.
The DMZ Setup screen allows you to set up the DMZ port. It permits you to enable or disable the
hardware DMZ port (i.e., LAN port 8, see "The Router's Front Panel" on page 2-6) and configure
an IP address and Mask for the DMZ port.
