Use this link to enable or disable advanced features on your
network.
IP Address Filtering
Use this link to configure IP address filters. These filters prevent
designated IP addresses from accessing the Internet.
MAC Address Filtering
Use this link to configure MAC address filters. These filters
prevent designated MAC addresses from accessing the Internet.
Port Filtering
Use this link to configure transmission control protocol (TCP)
and user datagram protocol (UDP) port filters. These filters
prevent a range of TCP/UDP ports from accessing the Internet.
Port Forwarding
Use this link to configure port forwarding for local IP addresses.
Port forwarding allows you to run a server on the local area
network (LAN) by specifying the mapping of TCP/UDP ports to
local PCs or to the IP address of other devices. This is a static
setting that holds the ports open at all times.

Description
Port Triggers
Use this link to configure TCP/UDP port triggers. Port
triggering is similar to port forwarding, but is a dynamic
function. In other words, the ports are not held open, and the
ports close if no outgoing data is detected on the selected ports
for a period of 10 minutes.
DMZ Host
(Demilitarized Zone)
Use this link to configure an IP address that is visible to the wide
area network (WAN). DMZ hosting is commonly referred to as
―exposed host,‖ and allows you to specify the ―default‖ recipient
of WAN traffic that Network Address Translation (NAT) is
unable to translate to a known local PC.
A DMZ is used by a company that wants to host its own Internet
services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its private
network. DMZ allows one IP address to be unprotected while
others remain protected. The DMZ is located between the
Internet and an internal network's line of defense that is a
combination of firewalls and bastion hosts.
Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to Internet traffic,
such as web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers,
and domain name system (DNS) servers.
VPN Termination
Use this link to create, configure, and control Virtual Private
Network (VPN) protocols and manage Internet Protocol Security
(IPsec) VPN tunnels.

users from modifying the settings of your network.
If you do choose to set up a password, use a password that you can easily
remember. Do
not
forget your password.
