DMZ Enable
A DMZ is a subnetwork that is open to the public but behind the firewall. A DMZ 
allows you to redirect packets coming into your WAN port to a specific IP address 
in your LAN. You can configure firewall rules to allow access to specific services 
and ports in the DMZ from both the LAN or WAN. In the event of an attack on any of 
the DMZ nodes, the LAN is not necessarily vulnerable. We recommended that you 
place hosts that must be exposed to the WAN (such as web or e-mail servers) in 
the DMZ network. 
To configure DMZ:
STEP 1 Choose Setup > Network and check Enable DMZ. A message appears. 
STEP  2 Click Yes to accept the change.
STEP  3 Select the DMZ interface in the DMZ Settings table and click Edit. The Edit DMZ 
Connection window appears.
STEP  4 Select Subnet to identify a subnetwork for DMZ services and enter the DMZ IP 
Address and Subnet Mask. Or select Range to reserve a group of IP addresses 
on the same subnetwork for DMZ services and enter the IP address range.
STEP  5 Click Save.
Password
The username and password allow administrative access to the device. The 
default username is cisco. The default password is cisco. The username and 
password can be changed. We strongly recommend changing the default 
password to a strong password. 
If remote management is enabled on the (Firewall) General page, the password 
must be changed.
