LAN Setup
6.1 Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many
computers are attached. A LAN is usually located in one immediate area such as a
building or floor of a building.
The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP
addresses.
• See Section 6.7 on page 75 for more information on LANs.
• See Appendix D on page 247 for more information on IP addresses and
subnetting.
6.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• The LAN IP screen lets you set the LAN IP address and subnet mask of your
ZyXEL device and configure the ZyXEL Device’s DHCP settings ( Section 6.4 on
page 71 ).
• The Client List screen lets you assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific
individual computers based on their MAC Addresses ( Section 6.5 on page 72 ).
• The IP Alias screen lets you change your ZyXEL Device’s IP alias settings
( Section 6.6 on page 73 ).
