DMZ

A DMZ is a host or network segment located "between" internal (local) and external (global)
networks. In the access point, the DMZ implements the capability to transfer a request coming to a
port of the access point from the external network to a specified host of the internal network.
On the Firewall / DMZ page you can specify the IP address of the DMZ host.
To enable the DMZ, select the Enabled checkbox, enter the IP address of a host from your network
in the IP address field, and click the Change button.
Note that when the DMZ is enabled, all traffic coming to a port of the WAN interface of the access
point is directed to the same port of the specified IP address. Also note that virtual servers have
higher priority than the DMZ host. In other words, if there has been created a virtual server that
directs traffic from external port 80 to a port of the device from the local network of the access
point, then entering http://access_point_WAN_IP in the address bar, users of the external
network are directed to the specified port and IP address configured for the virtual server, but not to
port 80 of the device with the IP address specified on the Firewall / DMZ page.
To disable the DMZ, deselect the Enabled checkbox and click the Change button.
