2. Connect to the DMZ (AR450S)
If you have a public server, use an Ethernet patch cable to connect it to the
AR450S router’s Ethernet DMZ (ETH1) port. Separating public servers
from your LAN allows the firewall to provide greater protection for your
LAN. If you have multiple public servers, you can connect them to a hub
or Layer 2 switch and connect that device to the router’s DMZ port.
3. Connect to the WAN.
If you intend to use a firewall, configure it before you activate the WAN link.
Once initial configuration is complete, use an Ethernet patch cable to
connect the router’s Ethernet WAN (ETH0) port to the Ethernet port of a
WAN device (such as a modem). With AR410 and AR410S routers, you can
instead use a PIC for your WAN connection.
