What
is a DMZ Port?
DMZ stands for Demilitarized Zone. A DMZ is a separate
ethernet port on a firewall that is used to connect publicly accessed
servers to the internet. A publicly accessed server would be
an email, web or FTP server. This separate ethernet port plugs
into a switch or hub that your public servers will be attached
to. The DMZ port provides the same level of firewall protection
as the LAN port does.
Why
do I need a DMZ Port?
The main advantage of using a DMZ port is to keep your
private network protected from internet users. If a publicly accessed
server becomes compromised by a malicious user then that user
may be able to access resources on that network LAN segment. By
keeping you private LAN on a separate network segment you do not
run the risk of the malicious user accessing your corporate network.
