Cisco WRP400 User Guide
The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for
use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port Range
Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to
have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing
the computer to the Internet.
After you enter settings on this page, click Save Settings to apply your changes, or
click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.
Figure 40 Applications and Gaming > DMZ
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function
disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP
address may change when using the DHCP function.
• Enabled/Disabled: To disable DMZ hosting, select Disabled. To expose one
PC, select Enabled. Then configure the following settings:
• Source IP Address: If you want any IP address to be the source, select Any
IP Address. If you want to specify an IP address or range of IP addresses as
the designated source, select and complete the IP address range fields.
