Objective

A DMZ host is the router which functions as a host on a LAN who is allowed to disclose all its ports to the Internet. The DMZ host is responsible to do video conference, Internet games, and other types of untrusted communication. The reason to make one router as a DMZ host is to increase the security of the network so that attackers only have the access to the DMZ host, which is outside of the main network of the organization. Access to the DMZ host from the Internet can be restricted through the Firewall.

The objective of this document is to show you how to configure a DMZ host on the RV32x VPN Router Series.
