P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The ZyXEL Device has built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients.
1.2 Applications for the ZyXEL Device Here are some example uses for which the ZyXEL Device is well suited. Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your ZyXEL Device P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide...
P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide 1.2.1 Internet Access The ZyXEL Device is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your ZyXEL Device supports the TCP/IP protocol, which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone network interface/connection (for example, T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay).
The DSL link is down. The ZyXEL Device has a PPP (PPPoA or PPPoE) connection. Blinking The ZyXEL Device is sending or receiving PPPoA or PPPoE traffic. The ZyXEL Device does not have a PPP (PPPoA or PPPoE) connection. P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide...

P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide 3.1.1.4 RFC 1483 RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit (LLC-based multiplexing) and the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate ATM virtual circuit (VC-based multiplexing).
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet mask. Chapter 3 Wizard Setup P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide...
P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established.

P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide 5.2 DNS Server Address DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting. Chapter 5 LAN Setup P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide Chapter 3 on page 39 for this information.
P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide 5.4.4 Multicast Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1.
ARP table is updated, the computer is able to access the Internet through the ZyXEL Device. 5 When the ZyXEL Device receives packets from the computer, it creates an entry in the IP routing table so it can properly forward packets intended for the computer. Chapter 5 LAN Setup P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide...
P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide After all the routing information is updated, the computer can access the ZyXEL Device and the Internet as if it is in the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device. 5.6 Configuring LAN Click LAN and LAN Setup to open the following screen.

This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the WAN. Note: NAT never changes the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host. Chapter 7 Network Address Translation (NAT) Screens P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide H A P T E R (NAT) Screens...
P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide 7.1.2 What NAT Does In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address) back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host.
More examples follow at the end of this chapter. Figure 24 NAT Application With IP Alias 7.1.5 NAT Mapping Types NAT supports five types of IP/port mapping. They are: Chapter 7 Network Address Translation (NAT) Screens P-660R-Tx v2 Series User’s Guide...
