An example of enabling internet users to access LAN resources
Scenario: You have set up an FTP server within your LAN.
Goal: Open the FTP server to internet users and enable family members who are not at home to
access the resources of the FTP server from the internet.
Solution: You can configure the DMZ host function to reach the goal.
Assume that the information of the FTP server includes:
IP address: 192.168.0.136
MAC address: D4:61:DA:1B:CD:89
Service port: 21
WAN IP address of the Mesh device: 102.33.66.88
Ensure that the Mesh device obtains an IP address from the public network. This function may not
work on a host with an IP address of a private network or an intranet IP address assigned by ISPs that
starts with 100. Common IPv4 addresses are classified into class A, class B and class C. Private IP
addresses of class A range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255. Private IP addresses of class B range from
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255. Private IP addresses of class C range from 192.168.0.0 to
192.168.255.255.
Configuration procedure:
