5.4 DMZ
Virtual DMZ exposes one client to the Internet, allowing this
client to receive all inbound packets directed to your Local Area
Network.
Inbound traffic from the Internet is usually discarded and routed
to a specic client only if port forwarding or a port trigger has
been congured on the network. In a DMZ conguration, one
network client receives all inbound packets.
Setting up DMZ on a network is useful when you need incoming
ports open or you want to host a domain, web, or email server.
Caution: Opening all the ports on a client to the Internet makes
the network vulnerable to outside attacks. Please be aware of the
security risks involved in using DMZ.
To set up DMZ:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced > DMZ tab.
2. Move the slider to ON for using DMZ.
3. Key in the IPv4 Host Address/IPv6 Host Address that will
provide the DMZ service and be exposed on the Internet.
Ensure that the server client has a static IP address.
4. When done, click Save.
