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.

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.

. 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.

. When done, click Apply.
