Enable DMZ: The Demilitarized zone (DMZ) can be enabled and used as a place where services

can be placed such as Web Servers, Proxy Servers, and E-mail Servers such that these

services can still serve the local network and are at the same time isolated from it for

additional security. DMZ is commonly used with the NAT functionality as an alternative for

the Port Forwarding while makes all the ports of the host network device be visible from the

external network side.

DMZ Management Port: Web Management Port for the based device (TCP/IP port 80 by default)

will be used for the host device if DMZ Management Port option is enabled. In this case

device will respond to the requests from the external network as if it was the host which is

specified with DMZ IP. It is recommended to leave Management Port disabled while the

based device will become inaccessible from the external network if enabled.

DMZ IP: connected to the internal network host, specified with the DMZ IP address will be

accessible from the external network.

With a multicast design, applications can send one copy of each packet and address it to the

group of computers that want to receive it. This technique addresses packets to a group of

receivers rather than to a single receiver. It depends on the network to forward the packets to

the hosts which need to receive them. Common Routers isolate all the broadcast (thus

multicast) traffic between the internal and external networks, however provides the multicast

traffic

pass-through

functionality.
