There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network as shown next. Figure 30 LAN and WAN IP Addresses LAN WAN 8.3.2 DHCP Setup DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the ZyXEL Device as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the ZyXEL Device provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If you turn DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured. P-660R-Tx v3s User's Guide 71
