LAN Setup
8.1
Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many networking
devices are connected. It is usually located in one area such as a building or floor of a building.
Use the LAN screen to help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses.
8.1.1
What You Can Do in the LAN Screens
Use the
LAN
screen (
Section 8.2 on page 68
) to set the LAN IP address and subnet mask
of your ZyXEL device. You can also edit your ZyXEL Device's RIP, multicast and DHCP
settings from this screen.
Use the
DHCP IP Pool Summary
screen (
Section 8.2.1 on page 70
) to check the IP and
MAC addresses of the computers on your LAN.
8.1.2
What You Need To Know About LAN
IP Address
IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including
computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the
network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.
Subnet Mask
Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also
use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.
