Vantage RADIUS User's Guide
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. This field must be configured
manually; the default setting is 255.255.255.0. Unless you are implementing sub-netting, there is no need to
change this field.

DNS Server Address Assignment

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa,
for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important
because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.
Your ISP should have given you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet,
when you sign up.
If you are using a ZyXEL gateway/router, you can use it's DNS proxy feature by entering the LAN IP
address of the gateway/router in the DNS field.

MAC Address

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at
the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.

DHCP Setup

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to
obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure Vantage RADIUS as a DHCP
server or disable it. When configured as a server, Vantage RADIUS provides the TCP/IP configuration for
