LAN

You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it

convenient to use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings

for their private network. The IP address of the Router is the base address used for DHCP. In

order to use the Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP address pool used for DHCP must be

compatible with the IP address of the Router. The IP addresses available in the DHCP IP

address pool will change automatically if you change the IP address of the Router.

Port Triggering

DMZ Host

Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router supports use of a DMZ IP

address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and will

therefore be visible to agents on the Internet with the right type of software. Keep in mind that

any client PC in the DMZ will be exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ,

take measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client PCs on

your LAN from possible contamination through the DMZ.

To designate a DMZ IP address, type in the IP Address of the server or device on your LAN,

and click the

Save/Apply

button
