8.9 Technical Reference
This section provides some technical background information about the topics covered in this
chapter.
8.9.1
LANs, WANs and the VMG
The actual physical connection determines whether the VMG ports are LAN or WAN ports. There are
two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network as
shown next.

8.9.2 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 the VMG as a DHCP server
or disable it. When configured as a server, the VMG provides the TCP/IP configuration for the
clients. If you turn DHCP service off, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the
computer must be manually configured.
IP Pool Setup
The VMG is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP clients (DHCP Pool). See the
product specifications in the appendices. Do not assign static IP addresses from the DHCP pool to
your LAN computers.
