CHAPTER 8 Home Networking 8.1 Home Networking Overview A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many networking devices are connected. It is usually located in one immediate area such as a building or floor of a building. Use the LAN screens to help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses. Figure 66 Home Networking Example 8.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter • Use the LAN Setup screen to set the LAN IP address, subnet mask, and DHCP settings of your Zyxel Device (Section 8.2 on page 118). • Use the Static DHCP screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on their MAC addresses (Section 8.3 on page 122). • Use the UPnP screen to enable UPnP and UPnP NAT traversal on the Zyxel Device (Section 8.4 on page 124). • Use the Additional Subnet screen to configure IP alias and public static IP (Section 8.5 on page 129). • Use the STB Vendor ID screen to configure the Vendor IDs of the connected Set Top Box (STB) devices, which have the Zyxel Device automatically create static DHCP entries for the STB devices when they request IP addresses (Section 8.6 on page 131). • Use the Wake on LAN screen to remotely turn on a device on the network. (Section 8.7 on page 131). • Use the TFTP Server Name screen to identify a TFTP server for configuration file download using DHCP option 66.

Use the
Additional Subnet
screen to configure IP alias and public static IP (
Section 8.5 on page 129
).
Use the

About LAN
IP Address
IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers,
servers, routers, printers, and so on) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These
networking devices are also known as hosts.
