1.5 Hardware DMZ
Using the DMZ Port
The DMZ port is intended for connection of a server you wish to make available to the public. To use multiple
servers, use a standard LAN cable to connect the DMZ port to a normal port on another switch, and connect
your servers to the switch.
Please note the following points regarding the DMZ port:
• Although physically attached to the switch ports, the DMZ port is not part of the built-in switch. It is a
separate single port which is isolated from the switch.
• PCs connected to the DMZ port are on the same LAN segment as PCs connected to the LAN ports.
They must use the same IP address range.
• PCs connected to the DMZ port are NOT visible to PCs on the LAN ports. So you cannot use
Microsoft networking or other networking protocols to connect to PCs on the DMZ. The connection
must be made via the Internet.
• PCs connected to the DMZ port still share the WAN port IP address for Internet access.
• To make PCs on the DMZ port available from the Internet, the "Virtual Server" (Port Forwarding)
feature must be configured to send incoming traffic to the appropriate server.
Advantages of the DMZ Port
If running any Servers on your LAN, you should connect them to the DMZ port, for the following reasons:
• Traffic passing between the DMZ and LAN passes through the firewall. The firewall will protect your
LAN if your Server is compromised and used to launch an attack on your LAN.
• When using the Virtual Servers feature, a firewall rule to allow incoming traffic from the Internet to the
DMZ is automatically created. If the Server is connected to the LAN ports, you must add the firewall
rule manually.
