Configuring a DMZ Host
The Cisco RV180/RV180W supports DMZ options. A DMZ is a sub-network that is
open to the public but behind the firewall. DMZ allows you to redirect packets
going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. It is
recommended that hosts that must be exposed to the WAN (such as web or e-mail
servers) be placed in the DMZ network. Firewall rules can be allowed to permit
access to specific services and ports to the DMZ from both the LAN or WAN. In
the event of an attack on any of the DMZ nodes, the LAN is not necessarily
vulnerable as well.
You must configure a fixed (static) IP address for the endpoint that will be
designated as the DMZ host. The DMZ host should be given an IP address in the
same subnet as the router's LAN IP address but it cannot be identical to the IP
address given to the LAN interface of this gateway.
STEP 1 Choose Firewall > DMZ Host.
STEP 2 Check the Enable box to enable DMZ on the network.
STEP 3 Enter the IP address for the endpoint that will receive the redirected packets. This
is the DMZ host.
STEP 4 Click Save. You must then configure firewall rules for the zone.
See Creating Custom Services, page 95.

Configuring One-to-One Network Address Translation (NAT)
One-to-one NAT is a way to make systems behind a firewall that are configured
with private IP addresses appear to have public IP addresses.
