DMZ Host
Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router supports
use of a DMZ IP address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is
not protected by NAT and will therefore be visible to agents on the Internet
with the right type of software. Keep in mind that any client PC in the DMZ
will be exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take
measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining
client PCs on your LAN from possible contamination through the DMZ.
To designate a DMZ IP address, type in the IP Address of the server or
device on your LAN, and click the
Save/Apply
button.
Security
To access the
Security
window, click the
Security
button in the
Advanced Setup
directory. The
Security
button appears after configuring WAN
interface.
IP Filtering
The
IP Filtering
button appears when configuring WAN interface in PPPoA, PPPoE, MER or IPoA.
IP Filtering - Outgoing
This window allows you to create a filter rule to block outgoing IP traffic by
specifying a filter name and at least one condition on this window. All of
the specified conditions in this filter rule must be satisfied for the rule to
take effect. Filters are used to allow or deny LAN or WAN users from
accessing the Internet or your internal network.
If you are setting up the outgoing IP filtering, click the
Add
button.
