Configure Virtual Servers Based on DMZ
Host
DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) makes specific PCs in a NAT-enabled
network directly accessible from the Internet.
With NAT, the access point keeps track of which client is using which
port number and forwards Internet replies to the client according to
the port number in the reply packet. Reply packets with unrecognized
port numbers are discarded, but with DMZ, these packets are
forwarded to the DMZ-enabled PC instead.

NOTE
1. DMZ may not function properly if the DMZ host IP address
is changed due to DHCP, therefore, Static IP Address
configuration is recommended for the DMZ host.
2. Please note that the DMZ host is susceptible to malicious
attacks as ALL of its ports are exposed to the Internet.
