2.5.4 DMZ
you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall,
en you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function
lows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The
ifference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet
plication (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of
rvices) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.
ote: DMZ function works only when the NAT function is enabled.
