Dmz - Technicolor TG589vac Setup And User Manual

6.2 DMZ

Introduction
The TG589vac allows you to configure one local device as a De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) host. This means that:
None of the TG589vac firewall rules will be applied to this device.

All traffic originating from the Internet will be forwarded to this devices unless there is a specific port forwarding rule

defined or automatically created for a specific type of traffic.
Use a static address for the DMZ host
Make sure that your DMZ host uses a static IP address (you choose a fixed IP address) instead of a dynamic IP address (the
DHCP server assigns an IP address). If you use a dynamic IP address, the device might get a new IP address after some time
and the port forwarding rule will no longer be applied to the device and another device may unexpectedly be acting as the
DMZ host.
