server, or email server, for example) and give public access to them. The fourth LAN port on the
router can be dedicated as a hardware DMZ port for safely providing services to the Internet,
without compromising security on your LAN.
The DMZ port feature is also helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The firewall is programmed to recognize some of
these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not
function well. In some cases, local PCs can run the application properly if those PCs are used on
the DMZ port.
The
DMZ Setup
screen allows you to set up the DMZ port. It permits you to enable or disable the
hardware DMZ port (LAN port 4, see
“Router Front Panel” on page 1-5
) and configure an IP
address and Mask for the DMZ port.
To enable and configure the DMZ port:
1.
From the main menu, select
Network Configuration
>

from the main menu. The

radio box.
3.
Enter an
IP Address
and the
Subnet mask
for the DMZ port. Make sure that the DMZ port IP
address and LAN Port IP address are in different subnets (for example, an address outside the
LAN Address pool, such as 192.168.1.101).
Note:
A separate firewall security profile is provided for the DMZ port that is
independent of the standard firewall security used for the LAN.
