DMZ Firewall Solution for the Express Router
1 Introduction
1.1 About This Document
This document explains how to configure a secure Internet solution using the second LAN
interface of the Intel Express router as a DMZ. The DMZ setup is explained through the use of
two example solutions, a Single IP Address Solution and Multiple IP Address.
It assumed that you have a solid understanding of networking concepts and experience in using
the Express Router.
1.2 References

The user guide for your router explains in detail the basic configuration procedures used in
the set up of the DMZ.

Associates. ISBN: 1-56592-124-0
1.3 What is a DMZ
For an Intel Express Router having two LAN ports, you can setup a DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone)
to increase security on your private network. A DMZ is a network off one of the LAN ports that
acts as a kind of buffer between the external (public Internet) network and your secure network
on the other LAN interface. The DMZ gives access to services required from both the external
network and the secure network. The services are typically HTTP/FTP (Web) servers for public
access, an HTTP/FTP proxy server, an SMTP server and a News (proxy) server. Mail servers and
News servers for internal use are placed on the secure network. Through the use of IP filters, you
prohibit access from the Internet to your secure network while still providing access to services
on the DMZ.

DMZ Firewall Solution for the Express Router
The purpose of this setup is to prohibit any direct data transmission between the Internet and the
secure network. All data must go through proxy servers on the DMZ.
We recommend that you set up the DMZ on the LAN2 (10 Mbps) port and your secure network
on the LAN1 (100/10 Mbps) port.
This document provides two DMZ solutions when connecting to the Internet, one using a single
external IP address and the other using a number of IP addresses (at least four IP addresses are
needed, including network identification and broadcast address).
Note: Solutions using dynamic address assignment by the ISP are not supported.
1.4 IP Filters in the Express Router
IP filters in the Express Router are defined on a link basis. Separate filters are configured for
received data (data packets from a link to the router) and transmitted data (data packets from the
router to a link). Use the diagram below to help determine the direction of data with respect to the
router and the types of filter required (Rx or Tx).

2 General Setup and Considerations
2.1 IP Address Selection
The IP addresses on the secure network and the DMZ network can be any valid IP addresses, but
we recommend that you use designated private IP addresses or registered IP addresses. Private IP
addresses are those addresses included under Class A network 10, Class B networks 172.16
through 172.31, and Class C networks 192.168.0 through 192.168.255. Registered public IP
addresses are provided by your Internet service provider (ISP). Using registered IP addresses on
the DMZ network avoids conflicts with duplicate addresses on the Internet. On the secure
network it is preferable to use designated private IP addresses. However, if you already have
unregistered public IP addresses on your private network (for example 89.20.0.0 and 90.2.0.0),
you must use Network Address Translation (NAT) to translate these addresses to private IP
addresses.
For the single IP address solution, NAT is needed to map the network services from one public IP
address to one or more private IP addresses on the DMZ network. This makes it possible to have
several public servers on DMZ using the same public IP address.

2.2 Routing Setup
Do not use RIP on the WAN interface or the DMZ interface. This prevents intruders from
corrupting the routing table.
If there is more than one internal network, the router must not be used as primary gateway
because the router configuration only allows the router to forward packets to the DMZ network.
2.3 DNS Setup
Some of the services on the DMZ network require external DNS queries. The most common mail
solution is to have a domain with an "MX" record and an "A" record pointing to the SMTP server
on the DMZ network. The DNS server is normally maintained and hosted by the ISP. The
solutions provided in this document do not support a DNS server on the DMZ network.
For more details about DNS please refer to [2].
2.4 E-mail (SMTP) Setup
Locate an SMTP server on the DMZ network to communicate with any host on the Internet and
an internal E-mail server on the secure network. Configure the SMTP server to use an MX record
in order to send the mail direct to the destination SMTP server.
2.5 FTP Setup
An HTTP/FTP proxy server on the DMZ network must use passive FTP for connections to the
Internet. Otherwise the filters will block the FTP data channel running on port 20. Because the
HTTP/FTP is an application proxy, support for DNS is required to resolve fully qualified domain
names into IP addresses.
2.6 HTTP Setup
An HTTP/FTP proxy normally runs on port 80 or 8080. However, the filter settings for the
following setups are based on port 80. Because the HTTP/FTP is an application proxy, support
for DNS is required to resolve fully qualified domain names into IP addresses.
2.7 News (NNTP) Setup
If you are using a News (NNTP) server on your secure network, it is required that you locate a
News (proxy) server on the DMZ. With this setup, the News server on the secure network
communicates with the News (proxy) server on the DMZ which, in turn, communicates with an
external News server on the Internet. The advantage of this setup is that all private news groups
are placed on the internal server, protected from the Internet.
2.8 Management Access Setup
To ensure security, you must disable management access (SNMP, Telnet, and TFTP)
on the WAN (Internet) link and the LAN2 (DMZ) link. For additional security, disable
management access on the LAN1 link also. With this setup, all management tasks can
only be performed from the console port.

This solution explains how to set up a DMZ solution when the Internet service provider (ISP) has
assigned a single IP address to your network.

In the example, the DMZ network connects to the LAN2 port and is on the 10.2.0.0/16 subnet.
The LAN2 port has been assigned an IP address of 10.2.0.10. The secure private network
connects to the LAN1 port and is on the 10.5.0.0/16 subnet. The LAN1 port has been assigned an
IP address of 10.5.0.10.
Note: The services available on the DMZ can be placed on a single server. If this is done, you
must configure NAT entries and filters accordingly.
3.1 Static Routing Setup
Configure static routing as follows:
•
Configure static routing on the Internet connection, LAN1, and LAN2. This is done in
Advanced Setup by setting the Routing Protocol parameter to None/Static.
•
Define a static route on the WAN interface to the Internet. Use the default static route setting
(network address of 0.0.0.0 and netmask 0.0.0.0) as shown in the example below.
3.2 Network Address Translation (NAT) Setup
The devices on the DMZ have been assigned private IP addresses. You must set up NAT to
translate the private IP addresses on the DMZ to the external IP address assigned by the ISP. This
will map services (i.e. port numbers) on the external IP address to servers on the DMZ.

Note 1: Some proxy servers, such as Microsoft Proxy* 2.0, do not support FTP proxy using the
FTP protocol. For upload and download using a special FTP program like WS_FTP*, an
additional FTP proxy on DMZ is required. This proxy server normally runs on port 21 and has to
support passive FTP. If download from an Internet browser is sufficient, the two filters are not
required.
Note 2: The filter is not required when using a News proxy server on DMZ.

4 DMZ Multiple IP Address Solution
This solution explains how to set up a DMZ when the ISP supplies you with multiple IP
addresses. In the example, the ISP has assigned the site a range of IP addresses: 193.84.251.0 to
193.84.251.7 (subnet mask 255.255.255.248).

Note: The services available on the DMZ can be placed on a single server. If this is done, you
must configure NAT accordingly.
The solution does not configure NAT on the WAN interface (connection to the Internet). This
eliminates problems with protocols that are not supported by the router’s NAT implementation.
4.1 IP Address Assignment
The servers on the DMZ network have been assigned official public IP addresses. NAT is not
required for these addresses. The secure private LAN consists of two networks, 89.20.0.0 and
90.2.0.0, which are official public IP addresses. You must use NAT to translate these addresses to
private IP addresses.
Note: The first and last IP address in the range provided by the ISP must not be used for devices.
The WAN connection to the Internet must be configured as unnumbered.
4.2 Static Routing Setup
Configure static routing as follows:
•
Configure static routing on the Internet connection, LAN1, and LAN2. This is done in
Advanced Setup by setting the Routing Protocol parameter to None/Static.
•
Define a static route on the WAN interface to the Internet. Use the default static route setting
(network address of 0.0.0.0 and network address of 0.0.0.0) as shown in the example below.

DMZ Firewall Solution for the Express Router
4.3 Network Address Translation (NAT)
Because the secure private networks on LAN1 use public IP addresses (89.20.0.0 and 90.20.0.0),
configure NAT to translate these addresses to private IP addresses. For example, NAT will
translate the E-mail server address from 89.20.0.1 to 10.1.0.1, the NNTP server address from
89.20.0.2 to 10.1.0.2, and the LAN1 address from 89.20.0.10 to 10.1.0.10.
Note: When adding filter entries, the internal addresses must be used.
NAT entries are defined as follows:

Note 1: Some proxy servers, such as Microsoft Proxy* 2.0, do not support FTP proxy using the
FTP protocol. For uploading and downloading using a special FTP program, such as WS_FTP*,
an additional FTP proxy on DMZ is required. This proxy server normally runs on port 21, and it
has to support passive FTP. If downloading from an Internet browser is sufficient, the two filters
are not required.
Note 2: The filter is not required when using a News proxy server on DMZ.
