LAN
This chapter describes the screens that display when you click
LAN
in the toolbar.
3.1
LAN OVERVIEW
This section describes some of the concepts related to the
LAN
screens.
3.1.1
LOCAL AREA NETWORKS
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of computers and other devices that usually
occupies a small physical area (a single building, for example). Your BVW-3653’s
LAN consists of all the computers and other networking devices connected to the
LAN 1
~
4
ports. This is your private network (in routing mode - see
Routing Mode
on
page
28
).
The LAN is a separate network from the Wide Area Network (WAN). In the case of
the BVW-3653, the WAN refers to all computers and other devices available on the
cable (
CATV
) connection.
By default, computers on the WAN cannot identify individual computers on the LAN;
they can see only the BVW-3653. The BVW-3653 handles routing to and from
individual computers on the LAN.
3.1.2
LAN IP ADDRESSES AND SUBNETS
IP addresses on the LAN are controlled either by the BVW-3653’s built-in DHCP
server (see
DHCP
on page
27
), or by you (when you manually assign IP addresses
to your computers).
For more information about IP addresses and subnets in general, see
IP Addresses
and Subnets
on page
25
.

LAN
3.1.3
DOMAIN SUFFIX
A domain is a location on a network, for instance
example.com
. On the Internet,
domain names are mapped to the IP addresses to which they should refer by the
Domain Name System. This allows you to enter “www.example.com” into your
browser and reach the correct place on the Internet even if the IP address of the
website’s server has changed.
Similarly, the BVW-3653 allows you to define a
Domain Suffix
to the LAN. When you
enter the domain suffix into your browser, you can reach the BVW-3653 no matter
what IP address it has on the LAN.
3.1.4
DEBUGGING (PING AND TRACEROUTE)
The BVW-3653 provides a couple of tools to allow you to perform network
diagnostics on the LAN:
±
Ping: this tool allows you to enter an IP address and see if a computer (or other
network device) responds with that address on the network. The name comes
from the pulse that submarine SONAR emits when scanning for underwater
objects, since the process is rather similar. You can use this tool to see if an IP
address is in use, or to discover if a device (whose IP address you know) is
working properly.
±
Traceroute: this tool allows you to see the route taken by data packets to get
from the BVW-3653 to the destination you specify. You can use this tool to solve
routing problems, or identify firewalls that may be blocking your access to a
computer or service.
3.2
THE LAN IP SCREEN
Use this screen to:
±
Configure the BVW-3653’s LAN IP address, subnet mask and domain suffix
±
Configure the BVW-3653’s internal DHCP server
±
See information about the network devices connected to the BVW-3653 on the
LAN.
