LAN Configuration

To reserve an IP address, use the Groups and Hosts screen under the Network Configuration 
menu, LAN Groups submenu (see 

).

The De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) is a network which, when compared to the LAN, has fewer 
firewall restrictions, by default. This zone can be used to host servers (such as a web server, ftp 
server, or email server, for example) and give public access to them. The eighth 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 8, see 

) 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 and then select DMZ Setup from the 

submenu. The DMZ Setup screen will display.

2. Check the Do you want to enable DMA Port? 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: The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the PC contacts the 

firewall's DHCP server. Reboot the PC or access its IP configuration and force a 
DHCP release and renew.

Note: A separate firewall security profile is provided for the DMZ port that is 

independent of the standard firewall security used for the LAN.
