What You Need To Know
The actual physical connection determines whether the NBG-416N ports are LAN
or WAN ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network
and the other outside the WAN network as shown next.
Figure 54
LAN and WAN IP Addresses
The LAN parameters of the NBG-416N are preset in the factory with the following
values:
•
IP address of
192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
•
DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives
you explicit DNS server address(es), read the embedded Web Configurator help
regarding what fields need to be configured.
9.2.1
IP Pool Setup
The NBG-416N is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from
192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses
(excluding the NBG-416N itself) in the lower range (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32)
for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc.,
that you may have.
Refer to
Section 4.4.6 on page 44
for information on IP Address and Subnet Mask.
9.2.2
LAN TCP/IP
The NBG-416N has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and
DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.
Refer to the
Section 4.4.7 on page 45

Servers.
