Remove
If you don’t need a specified Server, you can remove it. Check the check box beside the item you want
to remove, then press Remove, it will be OK.
DMZ Host
The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP
address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by Firewall and NAT algorithms before
being passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other
Virtual Server entries.
DMZ Host IP Address:
Enter the IP Address of a host you want it to be a DMZ host. Select from the
list box to quick set the DMZ.
Time Schedule:
Select or set exactly when the DMZ works. When set to “Always On”, the DMZ will
work all time; and also you can set the precise time when DMZ works, like 01:00-19:00 from Monday
to Friday. Or you can select the already set timeslot in Time Schedule during which the DMZ works.
And when set to “Disable”, the DMZ Host
is disabled. See Time Schedule.
Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users are able to connect to PCs on
your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports
your application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual Server entry for “All”
protocols, as doing so results in all connection attempts to your public IP address accessing the
specified PC.
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be
invalid.
If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the
virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually
assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of
IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP
address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router
