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 area such as a
building or floor of a building.
Use the LAN screen 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 LAN screen (Section 8.2 on page 77) to set the LAN IP address and
subnet mask of your ZyXEL device. You can also edit your P-660RU-Tx's RIP,
multicast and DHCP settings from this screen.
•Use the DHCP IP Pool Summary screen (Section 8.2.1 on page 79) to check
the IP and MAC addresses of the computers on your LAN.
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.
