Chapter 7 LAN Setup without changing the network settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet. Figure 45 Any IP Example 192.168.10.1 192.168.10.1 192.168.1.1 The Any IP feature does not apply to a computer using either a dynamic IP address or a static IP address that is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device's IP address. Note: You must enable NAT/SUA to use the Any IP feature on the ZyXEL Device. How Any IP Works Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address, on the local area network. IP routing table is defined on IP Ethernet devices (the ZyXEL Device) to decide which hop to use, to help forward data along to its specified destination. The following lists out the steps taken, when a computer tries to access the Internet for the first time through the ZyXEL Device. 1 When a computer (which is in a different subnet) first attempts to access the Internet, it sends packets to its default gateway (which is not the ZyXEL Device) by looking at the MAC address in its ARP table. 2 When the computer cannot locate the default gateway, an ARP request is broadcast on the LAN. 3 The ZyXEL Device receives the ARP request and replies to the computer with its own MAC address. 134 P-660HW-Tx v3 Series User's Guide
