ZyXEL P-336M User's Guide 3.3 LAN Setup Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. Use LAN screen to set the IP address and subnet mask of the LAN interface on the P-336M. Click Basic > LAN to display the configuration screen. Figure 9 Basic: LAN The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 9 Basic: LAN LABEL LAN Setting IP Address Default Subnet Mask DESCRIPTION Type the IP address of your P-336M in dotted decimal notation. 192.168.167.1 is the factory default. Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste the IP address. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your P336M automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the P-336M. 3.4 DHCP Overview 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 P-336M as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the P-336M provides the TCP/IP configuration for the DHCP client. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured. Chapter 3 Basic 30
