DMZ
A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is an isolated area in your local network where a computer runs outside the firewall and
receives/intercepts all incoming Internet traffic. This can provide an extra layer of security to the rest of the network, or can
be useful if a network client PC cannot run an application properly from behind an NAT firewall . However since it opens the
client up to unrestricted two-way access this computer is vulnerable. DMZ should be configured only by expert network
users aware of the security risks.
To set DMZ,
1.
Use the toggle switch to set DMZ to active.
2.
Enter the IP Address of the computer to provide the DMZ service. Make sure this computer is using a Static IP
Address.
3.
To save settings, click Save.
