Transparent Mode and the Interface IP Address
There are some considerations that should be noted with the DMZ IP address when transparent
mode is enabled:
• In transparent mode, the DMZ interface will take on the same IP address as the WAN interface.
• If DHCP is enabled on the WAN interface and the IP address on WAN cannot be refreshed
within its DHCP lease time then it will receive the IP address 0.0.0.0 and the DMZ interface
will also receive this IP address.
As a result, the administrator cannot connect through the DMZ interface to perform
management tasks with a browser while the DMZ has the 0.0.0.0 IP address.
These IP address considerations are also true if transparent mode is enabled on the LAN interface.
