6.10 LAN Port Roles

Use the Port Roles screen to set ports as part of the LAN, DMZ and/or WLAN interface.

Ports 1~4 on the ZyWALL can be part of the LAN, DMZ or WLAN interface.

Do the following if you are configuring from a computer connected to a LAN,

DMZ or WLAN port and changing the port's role:

1 A port's IP address varies as its role changes, make sure your computer's IP address is in

the same subnet as the ZyWALL's LAN, DMZ or WLAN IP address.

2 Use the appropriate LAN, DMZ or WLAN IP address to access the ZyWALL.

To change your ZyWALL's port role settings, click NETWORK > LAN > Port Roles. The

screen appears as shown.

The radio buttons correspond to Ethernet ports on the front panel of the ZyWALL. On the

ZyWALL, ports 1 to 4 are all LAN ports by default.

Your changes are also reflected in the DMZ Port Roles and WLAN Port Roles
