4.3.4 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 specific client only if port forwarding or a port trigger has

been configured on the network. In a DMZ configuration, 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 e-mail 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 Settings > WAN >

DMZ tab.

2. Configure the setting below. When done, click Apply.

IP address of Exposed Station: Key in the client’s LAN IP

address that will provide the DMZ service and be exposed

on the Internet. Ensure that the server client has a static IP

address.

To remove DMZ:
1. Delete the client’s LAN IP address from the IP Address of

Exposed Station text box.

2. When done, click Apply.
