ASUS SL100

Assigning static IP addresses to your PCs

In some cases, you may want to assign IP addresses to some or all of

your PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the ASUS

SL100 to assign them. This option may be desirable (but not required) if:

• You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want

to always associate with specific computers (for example, if you are

using a computer as a public web server).

• You maintain different subnets on your LAN.

However, during the first time configuration of your router, you must

assign an IP address in the 19.18.1.0 network for your PC, such

as 19.18.1.. This is in order to establish connection between

the router and your PC as the default LAN IP on the router is pre-

configured as 192.168.1.1. Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask

and 19.18.1.1 for the default gateway. These settings may be

changed later to reflect your true network environment.

On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the

instructions on pages to 9 relating only to checking for and installing

the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions

for displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.

Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the

computer, DNS server, and default gateway, click the radio buttons

that enable you to enter the information manually.

Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the

same subnet as the Internet Security Router’s LAN port. If

you want to manually assign IP information to all your LAN

PCs, you can follow the instructions in Configuring the

LAN IP Address.

Configuring the LAN IP Address

To change the default LAN IP address

1. Log into the Configuration Manager as administrator, and then click

LAN -> IP. The IP Address configuration page is displayed as shown in

Figure .
