The following table describes the fields in this screen.
Table 22 Network Setting > Home Networking > LAN Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Interface Group
Group Name Select the interface group name for which you want to configure LAN settings. See Chapter
13 on page 171 for how to create a new interface group.
LAN IP Setup
IP Address Enter the LAN IPv4 address you want to assign to your GPON Device in dotted decimal
notation, for example, 192.168.1.1 (factory default).
Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask of your network in dotted decimal notation, for example
255.255.255.0 (factory default). Your GPON Device automatically computes the subnet
mask based on the IP Address you enter, so do not change this field unless you are
instructed to do so.
IGMP Snooping
Active Select Enable to allow the GPON Device to passively learn multicast group.
DHCP Server State
DHCP Select Enable to have the GPON Device act as a DHCP server or DHCP relay agent.
Select Disable to stop the DHCP server on the GPON Device.
Select DHCP Relay to have the GPON Device forward DHCP request to the DHCP server.
DHCP Relay
Server Address
This field is only available when you select DHCP Relay in the DHCP field.
IP Address Enter the IPv4 address of the actual remote DHCP server in this field.
IP Addressing
Values
This field is only available when you select Enable in the DHCP field.
Beginning IP
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
Ending IP
Address
This field specifies the last of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
Auto reserve IP
for the same
host
Select Enable to have the GPON Device record DHCP IP addresses with the MAC addresses
the IP addresses are assigned to. The GPON Device assigns the same IP address to the
same MAC address when the host requests an IP address again through DHCP.
DHCP Server
Lease Time
This is the period of time DHCP-assigned addresses is used. DHCP automatically assigns IP
addresses to clients when they log in. DHCP centralizes IP address management on central
computers that run the DHCP server program. DHCP leases addresses, for a period of time,
which means that past addresses are “recycled” and made available for future reassignment
to other systems.
This field is only available when you select Enable in the DHCP field.
Days/Hours/
Minutes
Enter the lease time of the DHCP server.
DNS Values This field is only available when you select Enable in the DHCP field.
DNS Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information.
Select DNS Proxy if you have the DNS proxy service. The GPON Device redirects clients’
DNS queries to a DNS server for resolving domain names.
Select
Static if you have the IP address of a DNS server.
DNS Server 1/2 Enter the first and second DNS (Domain Name System) server IP addresses the GPON
Device passes to the DHCP clients.
LAN IPv6 Mode Setup
IPv6 Active
Select Enable to activate the IPv6 mode and configure IPv6 settings on the GPON Device.
