If you wish to mix dynamic and static IP clients on your network: Under DHCP server settings, the SA defaults to assigning IPs 172.16.1.2...
  • Page 24 SA hands out so it does not hand out an IP in that range. Typical offices set their DHCP server to assign IPs from 30 through 200. IPs 1 through 29 are usually assigned to servers and 201 and above are reserved for special uses.
  • Page 25 Or you do not have DHCP server on your network, but you would like to assign a static IP address to each device connected to the LAN port of SA. 1. Select Disable radio button. 2. Assign a static IP address to each device connected to the LAN port.
  • Page 26 For additional IP addresses of the internal network interface to be accepted, enter the other IP address in IP Alias 2 and IP Alias 3. Enter “0” in each field if none. •Multiple NAT If you get several fixed IP addresses from your ISP and the ISP restricts the bandwidth for each fixed IP address, you have to prevent the network packets from always sending on the same IP address and the other IP address to sit idle.
  • Page 27 1. Enter the Internal IP range1, e.g. “172.16.1.1/24”. It means the network is “172.16.1.x” 2. Enter the External IP range1, the IP address range you get from your ISP. 3. Enter the Internal IP range2, e.g. “192.168.1.1/24”. It means the network is “192.168.1.x”.
