agents on the Internet with the correct type of software. Note that any client PC in
the DMZ is exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take
measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client
PCs on your LAN from possible contamination through DMZ.

various locations on the Internet. Click a hyperlinked URL in the form of
hostname.dyndns.org and allow remote access to a host. Many ISPs assign public
IP addresses using DHCP, so locating a specific host on the LAN using the
standard DNS is difficult. For example, if you are running a public web server or
VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can be located from the
Internet even if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be

3.3.11 Network Tools
The router provides following tools: Port Mapping, IGMP Proxy, IP QoS, UPnP,
SNMP, TR-069, Software Forbidden, ARP Binding and Client Limit.
3.3.11.1 Port Mapping
Port Mapping supports a single (LAN) port or multiple (LAN) ports to be formed as
a group and mapped to a PVC (which is associated w/ a VLAN). As a result, each
group of LAN ports will perform as an independent (logical) network (like a
broadcast domain) among whom traffic broadcast would be prevented. This feature
is useful while you would like to form multiple independent (logical) networks for
multimedia applications at home. For instance, you can map PVC1 to port 1~3 to
create a network (broadcast domain) for PCs for Internet, and map PVC2 to port 4
to create another network (broadcast domain) for IPTV service (devices). By using
this feature (w/ multiple PVCs), data traffic and IPTV traffic would not affect each
other.
Choose Advanced > Network Tools > Port Mapping. The Port Mapping
Configuration page shown in the following figure appears.
