4.6 Configuring Static DHCP

This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses.

Multicast

Select IGMP V-1 or IGMP V-2 or None. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is

a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is

not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement over

version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If you would like to

read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP version 2 and

version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236.

DHCP Setup

DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows

individual clients (workstations) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a

server. Unless you are instructed by your ISP, leave this field set to Server. When

configured as a server, the ZyWALL provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients.

When set as a server, fill in the IP Pool Starting Address and Pool Size fields.

Select Relay to have the ZyWALL forward DHCP requests to another DHCP

server. When set to Relay, fill in the DHCP Server Address field.

Select None to stop the ZyWALL from acting as a DHCP server. When you select

None, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers

must be manually configured.

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.

DHCP Server

Address

If Relay is selected in the DHCP field above, then type the IP address of the actual,

remote DHCP server here.

Networking

(NetBIOS over

TCP/IP)

NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) are TCP or UDP packets that

enable a computer to connect to and communicate with a LAN. For some dial-up

services such as PPPoE or PPTP, NetBIOS packets cause unwanted calls.

However it may sometimes be necessary to allow NetBIOS packets to pass

through to the WAN in order to find a computer on the WAN.

Allow between

LAN and WAN

Select this check box to forward NetBIOS packets from the LAN to the WAN and

from the WAN to the LAN. If your firewall is enabled with the default policy set to

block WAN to LAN traffic, you also need to enable the default WAN to LAN firewall

rule that forwards NetBIOS traffic.
Clear this check box to block all NetBIOS packets going from the LAN to the WAN

and from the WAN to the LAN.

Allow between

LAN and DMZ

Select this check box to forward NetBIOS packets from the LAN to the DMZ and

from the DMZ to the LAN. (Not all ZyWALL models have a DMZ port.) If your

firewall is enabled with the default policy set to block DMZ to LAN traffic, you also

need to enable the default DMZ to LAN firewall rule that forwards NetBIOS traffic.
Clear this check box to block all NetBIOS packets going from the LAN to the DMZ

and from the DMZ to the LAN.
