Configure and Enable the DMZ Port for IPv4 Traffic

The demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a network that, by default, has fewer firewall restrictions than
the LAN. The DMZ can be used to host servers (such as a web server, FTP server, or email
server) and provide public access to them. The rightmost LAN port on the wireless VPN
firewall can be dedicated as a hardware DMZ port to safely provide services to the Internet
without compromising security on your LAN.
By default, the DMZ port and both inbound and outbound DMZ traffic are disabled. Enabling
the DMZ port and allowing traffic to and from the DMZ increases the traffic through the WAN
ports.
Using a DMZ port is also helpful with online games and videoconferencing applications that
are incompatible with NAT. The wireless VPN firewall is programmed to recognize some of
these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other applications that might
not function well. In some cases, local PCs can run the application correctly if those PCs are
used on the DMZ port.
Note: A separate firewall security profile is provided for the DMZ port that
is also physically independent of the standard firewall security
component that is used for the LAN.
The DMZ Setup screen lets you set up the DMZ port. It permits you to enable or disable the
hardware DMZ port (LAN port 8; see
and subnet mask for the DMZ port.
