MH-2001 Multi-Homing Security Gateway User’s Manual
5.3 DMZ
The Administrator uses the DMZ Interface to set up the DMZ network. The DMZ network consists of server
computers such as FTP, SMTP, and HTTP (web). These Servers are put in the DMZ network so they can be
isolated from the LAN network traffic. Broadcast messages from the LAN network will not cross over to the
DMZ network to cause congestions and slow down these Servers. This allows the Servers to work efficiently
without any slowdowns.
DMZ Interface: There are three options that you can select, Disable, NAT and Transparent.
IP Address: The private IP address of MH-2001’s DMZ interface. This will be the IP address of the DMZ port.
If it is in NAT mode, the IP address cannot use the same network with the WAN or LAN network.
Netmask: This will be the subnet mask of the DMZ network.
Ping: Select this to allow the DMZ network to ping the IP Address of MH-2001. If set to enable, the device will
respond to echo request packets from the DMZ network.
HTTP: Select this to allow the device WEBUI to be accessed from the DMZ network. Keep in mind that the
device always requires a username and password to enter the WebUI.
