Interfaces - LAN

The LAN tab gives you the opportunity to change the IP settings of the router.

Click Save & Apply at the bottom of this screen to save any changes.

•

IPv4 address 192.168.0.1:

It is the router’s LAN IP address (Your LAN clients default

gateway IP address).

•

IPv4 netmask 255.255.255.0: Specify a Subnet Mask for your LAN segment.

•

DHCP Server: Enabled by default. You can enable or disable the DHCP server. When

DHCP is disabled no ip-addresses are assigned to clients and you have to use static

ip-addresses. When DHCP server is enabled your computers will be assigned an ip-

address automatically until the lease time expires.

•

IP Address Pool: You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP server to

issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. The default IP range is 192.168.0.100 ~

192.168.0.200. If you want your PC(s) to have a static/fixed IP address, then you’ll

have to choose an IP address outside this IP address Pool

•

Lease Time: Half day. In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period that

the DHCP lends an IP address to your LAN clients. The DHCP will change your LAN

client’s IP address when this time threshold period is reached.

•

Domain Name: You can specify a Domain Name for your LAN or just keep the default

(sitecom.router).

Static DHCP IP

If you want a client to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP

reservation. The router will assign the IP address only to that client. This IP address must be

within the DHCP IP Address Range specified above, under DHCP Server.

Click the + sign to add a client to the list.



IP Address: Enter the IP Address you want to assign to the client. This IP Address must be

within the DHCP IP Address Range.



MAC address: Enter the MAC Address of the client.

IPv6 Connection Type

There are several connection types to choose from: Static IPv6, Autoconfiguration, 6RD and

Link-local only. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your IPv6 Internet

Service Provider.

Static IPv6 Mode

This mode is used when your ISP provides you with a set IPv6 addresses that does not change.

The IPv6 information is manually entered in your IPv6 configuration settings. You must enter

the IPv6 address, Subnet Prefix Length, Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server and Secondary

DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all this information.

6RD Mode

In the 6RD mode, no additional configuration is necessary.

Link-local Mode

The Link-local address is used by nodes and routers when communicating with neighboring

nodes on the same link. This mode enables IPv6-capable devices to communicate with each

other on the LAN side.

Switch

A VLAN is a switched network that is logically segmented by function, project team, or

application, without regard to the physical locations of the users. VLANs have the same

attributes as physical LANs, but you can group end stations even if they are not physically

located on the same LAN segment. Any switch module port can belong to a VLAN, and unicast,

broadcast, and multicast packets are forwarded and flooded only to end stations in the VLAN.
