6.6.3 Configuring Demilitarized Zone

Configuring a device on the LAN as a demilitarized zone (DMZ) host allows unrestricted two-way Internet access for Internet applications, such as online video games, to run from behind the NAT firewall. The DMZ function allows the router to redirect all packets going to the WAN port IP address to a particular IP address on the LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that a virtual server redirects a particular service or Internet application, such as FTP, to a particular LAN client or server, whereas a DMZ redirects all packets, regardless of the service, going to the WAN IP address to a particular LAN client or server.

A DMZ host allows a computer to have all its connections and ports completely open during data transmission.

6.9.3 Port Forwarding Setup

Port forwarding enables multiple server applications on a LAN to serve clients on a WAN over a single WAN IP address. The router accepts incoming client packets, filters them based on the destination WAN, or public, port and protocol and forwards the packets to the appropriate LAN, or local, port. Unlike the DMZ feature, port forwarding protects LAN devices behind the firewall.

  • Enable Port Forwarding Click Enable Port Forwarding to active port forwarding.
  • Description Enter notes or details about the forwarded port configuration.
  • Local IP Enter the local IP address of the server behind the NAT firewall.
  • Protocol Select the protocol to use for mapping from the following: TCP, UDP or Both.

6.9.4 Port Triggering Setup

Some applications, such as online games, videoconferencing and VoIP telephony, require multiple ports for inbound and outbound traffic. If an application requires both an incoming and an outgoing port simultaneously, it is possible to configure static port forwarding to handle the packets. That is not an optimal solution because a static IP address must be configured for each device. With port triggering an application, local port or range of ports and a communication protocol can be mapped to a specific public port. Sending packets out over the local port triggers the router to open an incoming local port that is mapped to the same public port and application as the outgoing local port(s). The local application can communicate over the incoming and outgoing ports without the need for creating a fixed address.

  • Enable Port Triggering Click Enable Trigger Port to activate port triggering.
  • Description Enter notes or details about the port triggered configuration.
  • Popular Applications Select a default application or add a new one.
