Set Up the DMZ Host
WARNING
!
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the SBG6782-AC
gateway firewall. It is open to communication or hacking from any computer on
the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.
You can configure one computer to be the DMZ host. This setting is generally used for
computers using problem applications that use random port numbers and do not function
correctly with specific port triggers or the port forwarding setups. If you set up a computer as a
DMZ Host, set this back to zero when you are finished with the needed application, since this
computer will be effectively exposed to the public Internet, though still protected from Denial of
Service (DoS) attacks via the Firewall.
To create the DMZ Host:
1.
Click
Advanced
on the SBG6782-AC Main Menu.
2.
Click
DMZ Host
from the Advanced submenu options.
Figure 21 – Advanced DMZ Host Screen
3.
Enter the last one to three digits (from
2
to
254
) of the IP address of the computer or gaming
device you want to set up as the DMZ host and expose to the Internet.
4.
Click
Apply
to activate the selected computer.
Note
: Remember to set the IP address back to zero when you are finished with the needed
application, since that computer will be exposed to the public Internet.
