2.7.4 DMZ

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

Note: If there is a conflict between the Virtual
Server and the DMZ setting, then Virtual Server
function will have priority over the DMZ function.
T he IP address of the WAN port or any other Public
IP addresses given to you by your ISP
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.
