Finding Out More
See
Section 7.6 on page 97
for technical background information on LANs.
7.1.3
Before You Begin
Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to
the DHCP Client List screen.
7.2
The LAN IP Screen
Use this screen to set the Local Area Network IP address and subnet mask of your
ZyXEL Device. Click
Network > LAN
to open the
IP
screen.
Follow these steps to configure your LAN settings.
1
Enter an IP address into the
IP Address
field. The IP address must be in dotted
decimal notation. This will become the IP address of your ZyXEL Device.
2
Enter the IP subnet mask into the
IP Subnet Mask
field. Unless instructed
otherwise it is best to leave this alone, the configurator will automatically compute
a subnet mask based upon the IP address you entered.

Click
Apply
to save your settings.

DESCRIPTION
IP Address
Enter the LAN IP address you want to assign to your ZyXEL Device in
dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.1 (factory default).
IP Subnet Mask
Type the subnet mask of your network in dotted decimal notation, for
example 255.255.255.0 (factory default). Your ZyXEL Device
automatically computes the subnet mask based on the IP Address you
enter, so do not change this field unless you are instructed to do so.

DESCRIPTION
DHCP Setup
DHCP
If set to
Server
, your ZyXEL Device can assign IP addresses, an IP
default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and
other systems that support the DHCP client.
If set to
None
, the DHCP server will be disabled.
If set to
Relay
, the ZyXEL Device acts as a surrogate DHCP server
and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server
and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP
server in the
Remote DHCP Server
field in this case.
When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set:
IP Pool Starting
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP
address pool.
Pool Size
This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
Remote DHCP
Server
If
Relay
is selected in the
DHCP
field above then enter the IP
address of the actual remote DHCP server here.

The Client List Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual
computers based on their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
Use this screen to change your ZyXEL Device’s static DHCP settings. Click
Network > LAN
> Client List
to open the following screen.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

The IP Alias Screen
IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks
over the same Ethernet interface. The ZyXEL Device supports three logical LAN
interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the ZyXEL Device itself as
the gateway for each LAN network.
When you use IP alias, you can also configure firewall rules to control access
between the LAN's logical networks (subnets).
Note: Make sure that the subnets of the logical networks do not overlap.
#
This is the index number of the static IP table entry (row).
Status
This field displays whether the client is connected to the ZyXEL Device.
Host Name
This field displays the computer host name.
IP Address
This field displays the IP address relative to the # field listed above.
MAC Address
The MAC (Media Access Control) or Ethernet address on a LAN (Local
Area Network) is unique to your computer (six pairs of hexadecimal
notation).
A network interface card such as an Ethernet adapter has a hardwired
address that is assigned at the factory. This address follows an industry
standard that ensures no other adapter has a similar address.
Reserve
Select the check box in the heading row to automatically select all
check boxes or select the check box(es) in each entry to have the
ZyXEL Device always assign the selected entry(ies)’s IP address(es) to
the corresponding MAC address(es) (and host name(s)). You can select
up to 10 entries in this table.
Modify
Click the modify icon to have the IP address field editable and change
it.
Apply
Click this to save your changes.
Cancel
Click this to restore your previously saved settings.
Refresh
Click this to reload the DHCP table.
