4.3.5 Configuring Demilitarized Zone

Configuring a device on the LAN as a demilitarized zone (DMZ) host allows unrestricted two-way Internet access for Internet applica-
tions, such as online video games, to run from behind the NAT firewall. The DMZ function allows the router to redirect all packets
going to the WAN port IP address to a particular IP address on the LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ func-
tion is that a virtual server redirects a particular service or Internet application, such as FTP, to a particular LAN client or server,
whereas a DMZ redirects all packets, regardless of the service, going to the WAN IP address to a particular LAN client or server.
WARNING!
!
The PC defined as a DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and is vulnerable to malicious network attacks. Do not store or manage
sensitive information on the DMZ host.
DMZ Hosting Select Enable DMZ to activate DMZ functionality.
DMZ Address Enter an IP address of a device on the LAN.
