11.1

Overview

This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many
computers are attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate
area, usually the same building or floor of a building. The LAN screens can help
you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP addresses, and partition your
physical network into logical networks.
Figure 78 LAN Example (implies wired WAN connection)
The LAN screens can help you manage IP addresses.

11.2 What You Can Do

• Use the IP screen to change the IP address for your MWR222.
• Use the IP Alias screen to have the MWR222 apply IP alias to create LAN
subnets.

11.3 What You Need To Know

The actual physical connection determines whether the MWR222 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.
