4.2.1 IP Address Assignment

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the
Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts
without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following
three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks.
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or have it assigned by a private network. If you
belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the
Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other hand, if you are part of a much larger organization,
you should consult your network administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.

Table 4-1 Access Point Operation Mode

If you select Access Point in Operating Mode, see Figure 2-3, then you can
select either Wireless Access Bridge or Wireless Access Router in Operation
Mode (for the Wireless Access Router option, the Ethernet connection type will
have to be specified).
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection.
Therefore you'll also need a username and password and possibly the PPPoE
service name. Your ISP will give you all needed information.
Choose Dynamic IP Address (DHCP Client) if you would like the ZyAIR to obtain
an IP address automatically each time you log on.
The ZyAIR is assigned a static IP address in this case. IP addresses for the inside
hosts can be either static or dynamically assigned by the ISP.
