7.7 LAN Technical Reference
This section provides some technical background information about the topics covered in this
chapter.
7.7.1 LANs, WANs and the Device
The actual physical connection determines whether the Device ports are LAN or WAN ports. There
are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network
as shown next.
Figure 45 LAN and WAN IP Addresses
7.7.2 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 Device as a DHCP
server or disable it. When configured as a server, the 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.
DHCP6 Setup
DHCP6 Server Select Enable to have the Device act as a DHCP6 server and pass IPv6 Prefix and DNS
information to clients.
DHCP6 Mode Select Auto if your ISP dynamically assigns IPv6 Prefix and DNS information. Select
Mannual to configure these parameters manually.
Prefix/Length If manual DHCP6 mode is selected, specify the IPv6 prefix and prefix length to pass to
clients.
Preferred Lifetime Enter the preferred lifetime for the prefix.
Valid Lifetime Enter the valid lifetime for the prefix.
Primary DNS Enter the first DNS server IP address the Device passes to the DHCP clients.
Secondary DNS Enter the second DNS server IP address the Device passes to the DHCP clients.
