DMZ Host
On the DMZ Host page, you can expose one or more client PCs in your
network to the Internet. It is often used for online games that require
unstricted two-way communications.
The total number of DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) hosts you can have depends
on how many Global Addresses you have configured on the Global Address
page. For example, if you have defined 5 Global Addresses (including the
default IP), you are limited to 5 DMZ hosts. Since the maximum number of
Global Addresses is 8, the total number of DMZ hosts you can configure is
also 8.
Caution – Once a PC in your network is designated as DMZ
host, it will not have any firewall protection.
