Field Description
GAMING DMZ
Enable Gaming DMZ Checking this box designates the selected host as the default Gaming DMZ host.
DMZ Host The Gaming DMZ host is a CPE with a private reserved IP address designated to be the
default DMZ host. Only one Gaming DMZ host can be active at any one time.
The CPE configured to be in the Gaming DMZ is not protected by the firewall and is open to
communication from any computer on the Internet. Thus, carful consideration should be
given before configuring your CPE to be in the DMZ. This feature is useful if you are having
difficulties running certain applications - typecally gaming applications.
The benefit of using a Gaming DMZ host as opposed to a NAT Passthrough host is that a
Gaming DMZ host does not require a public IP address as would be required by a NAT
Passthrough host. If the application requires a public IP address then the host should be
configured as a NAT Passthrough.
RESERVE NEW IP
ADDRESS You can reserve up to 32 IP addresses assigned by the SBG1000 DHCP server for specific
LAN clients. For example, you can reserve an IP address for a private FTP server to ensure
that it always receives the same private IP address.
MAC Address Type the MAC address of the DHCP client for which a reserved IP address is required. The
format is 16 hexadecimal numerals.
IP Address Sets the host portion of the reserved IP address for the LAN client having the specified MAC
address. When the LAN client requests an IP address, the SBG1000 DHCP server assigns
the client this IP address.
