4.13 Application & Gaming – DMZ
The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) feature allows a computer or small sub-network that locates between a trusted internal
network and an un-trusted external network, such as the Internet. Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to
Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers.
Any computer whose port is being forwarded from DMZ must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a
static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.
