5.2 VLAN
To configure the VLAN function, click on VLAN from the Advanced menu bar. VLAN is disabled
by factory default. To enable it, click on Enable, then click on the Set button. Then you can
proceed to create the VLAN groups. The router supports four VLAN groups (1–4). You can
choose and add different Ethernet ports to the PVC running in RFC 1483 bridged mode.
Parameters and buttons
Ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively represent Ethernets 4, 3, 2, and 1. The PVC field displays the
options of the PVCs set up in RFC 1483 Bridged mode (refer to section 4.4, WAN Setup). Click
on the Set button to apply the settings, or click on the Clear button to delete a VLAN group.
5.3 DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a centralized approach to allocating
IP addresses. It allows IP addresses to be dynamically assigned on an as needed basis, from a
pool of addresses. The DHCP server is enabled by factory default with the default IP address of
the eth0 to be 192.168.1.1/24.
