LAN Setup
8.1 Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many networking devices
are connected. It is usually located in one immediate area such as a building or floor of a building.
Use the LAN screens to help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses.
8.1.1 What You Can Do in the LAN Screens
•Use the IP screen (Section 8.2 on page 75) to set the LAN IP address and subnet mask of your
ZyXEL device. You can also edit your P-79X's RIP, multicast, any IP and Windows Networking
settings from this screen.
•Use the DHCP Setup screen (Section 8.3 on page 78) to configure the ZyXEL Device’s DHCP
settings.
•Use the Client List screen (Section 8.4 on page 80) to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific
individual computers based on their MAC Addresses.
•Use the IP Alias screen (Section 8.5 on page 81) to change your P-79X’s IP alias settings.
8.1.2 What You Need To Know About LAN
IP Address
IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including
computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the
network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.
