7.3 The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual
computers based on their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
7.3.1 Before You Begin
Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to
the Static DHCP screen.
DHCP Select Enable to have your ZyXEL Device assign IP addresses, an IP
default gateway and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices
that are DHCP clients.
If you select Disable, you need to manually configure the IP
addresses of the computers and other devices on your LAN.
When DHCP is used, the following fields need to be set.
IP Addressing Values
IP Pool Starting
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP
address pool.
Pool Size This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
DNS Values
DNS Server 1-3 Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server
information (and the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address).
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter
the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
User-Defined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined
changes to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-
Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must
have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must
have their DNS server addresses manually configured. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer
in order to access it.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes.
Cancel Click Cancel to restore your previously saved settings.
