CHAPTER 9
LAN
9.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many devices are attached. A
LAN is a network limited to the immediate area, such as the same building or a floor of a building.
Figure 36 LAN Example
The LAN screens can help you configure and manage IP address, and partition your physical network
into logical networks.
9.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the LAN screen to change the IP address for your WAH7608 (Section 9.2 on page 73).
• Use the DHCP Server screen to enable the DHCP server on the WAH7608 (Section 9.3 on page 74).
• Use the Leased Hosts screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual devices based on
their MAC Addresses (Section 9.4 on page 74).
• Use the File Sharing screen to allow file sharing via the WAH7608 (Section 9.5 on page 75).
9.1.2 What You Need To Know
The actual physical connection determines whether the WAH7608 ports are LAN or WAN ports. There are
two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network as shown
next.
