4.3.1 iPnP ZyXEL Implementation
Traditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer
and the N4100 to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the
Internet (through the N4100). In cases where your computer is required to use a
static IP address in another network, you may need to manually configure the
network settings of the computer every time you want to access the Internet via
the N4100.
With the iPnP feature and NAT enabled, the N4100 allows a computer to access
the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and
subnet mask) of the computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the
N4100 are not in the same subnet.
Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can
simply connect the computer to the N4100 and access the Internet.
The following figure depicts a scenario where a computer is set to use a static
private IP address in the corporate environment. In a residential house where a
N4100 is installed, you can still use the computer to access the Internet without
changing the network settings, even when the IP addresses of the computer and
the N4100 are not in the same subnet.
Figure 30 iPnP Example
The iPnP 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 N4100's IP address.
Note: You must enable NAT to use the iPnP feature.
