CHAPTER 8
LAN
8.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor
of a building. The LAN screens can help you configure the manage IP address, and partition your
physical network into logical networks.
Figure 29 LAN Example
The LAN screens can help you manage IP addresses.
8.2 What You Can Do
• Use the IP screen (Section 8.4 on page 48) to change the IP address for your PLA and DNS server
information.
• Use the IP Alias screen (Section 8.5 on page 49) to have the PLA apply IP alias to create LAN subnets.
8.3 What You Need To Know
There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network
as shown next.
