6.9.4 DMZ Hosting
Selecting DMZ Hosting generates the "DMZ Hosting" screen. The DMZ
(De-Militarized Zone) Hosting feature allows a device on the network to operate
outside the firewall to use an Internet service that otherwise would be blocked,
or to expose a networked device to all services without restriction or security.
Caution! A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be vulnerable
to attack. Designating a DMZ host may also put other computers in the
local network at risk. When designating a DMZ host, consider the security
implications and protect it if necessary.
To designate a local computer as a DMZ host:
1.
Click the "Enable" radio button to activate DMZ hosting.
2.
Select a networked device by selecting it from "Select Device" drop-down
list, or enter its IP address in the "Enter IP Address" text box.
