When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g.
  • Page 141 5.3.6.2 DMZ DMZ: The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets are checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms, it is then passed to the DMZ host when a packet received does not use a port number in use by any other Virtual Server entries.
  • Page 142 5.3.6.3 ALG Controls enable or disable various protocols over application layer. For example, SIP ALG: Enable: When SIP phone need ALG to pass through the NAT. Disable: When SIP phone included NAT-Traversal algorithm. Turn off the SIP ALG. Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on your network.
