Topic

This article describes the DMZ Host feature for the Datto Networking Appliance (DNA).

Environment

  • Datto Networking Appliance (DNA)

Description

In networking, a demilitarized zone or perimeter network (often referred to as a DMZ) functions as a container subnetwork to selectively expose a network's external-facing services to the Internet, while keeping the remainder of the network firewalled, adding a layer of protecting to a LAN. For more information about DMZ technology, see DMZ (external link).

Overview

To access the DMZ Host card, log into the DNA web interface, and click Firewall, as shown in Figure 1.
