Connecting Via Ethernet; Configuring The Lan Port Ip Address - SMC Networks ADSL Barricade SMC7204BRA User Manual

This section describes how to configure IP properties for the
interfaces on the ADSL Barricade that communicate with your
LAN computers.

Connecting via Ethernet

If you are using the ADSL Barricade with multiple PCs on your LAN,
you must connect the LAN via an Ethernet hub to the device's LAN
port, called [eth-0].
If you are using a single PC with the ADSL Barricade, you can
connect the PC directly to the LAN port using an Ethernet cable.
You must assign a unique IP address to each device port that
you use.

Configuring the LAN Port IP Address

The LAN IP address identifies the LAN port ([eth-0]) as a node
on your network; that is, its IP address must be in the same subnet
as the PCs on your LAN.
Definition:
You can change the default to reflect the set of IP addresses
that you want to use with your network.
C
ONFIGURING THE
A network node can be thought of as any interface
where a device connects to the network, such as
the ADSL Barricade's LAN port and the network
interface cards on your PCs. See IP Addresses,
Network Masks, and Subnets for an explanation
of subnets.
