DMZ = DeMilitarized Zone
Explanation
The DMZ is a locigally and physically separated Ethernet connection from both the internal secure (usually the trusted Intranet) and the external insecure (usually the untrusted Internet) networks provided by a Firewall via a so called three-legged firewall setup (a so called screened-subnet firewall setup is also available using two separate Firewalls).
The DMZ aids the connection of e-Mail Servers, WEB Servers, FTP-Servers or WLAN Access Points on a semi-secure network segment under the following general conditions:
- Specification of a separate IP addressing subnet
- Separate physical LAN Ethernet port (or ports), protected by the system Firewall that can acts like a Proxy Server as well.
For anyone on the external insecure network who wants to illegally connect to the internal trusted network, the DMZ is a dead end.
Erläuterung
DMZ ist eine logisch und physikalisch getrennte Ethernet-Verbindung zwischen einem internen, sicheren Netz (üblicherweise ein vertrauliches Intranet) und einem externen, unsicheren Netz (in der Regel das Internet). Die Verbindung wird durch eine Firewall hergestellt.
DMZ bietet eine sichere Verbindung für Email-, WEB- und FTP-Server und WLAN Access Points.
