Chapter 8 LAN Setup DHCP A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server can assign your ZyXEL Device an IP address, subnet mask, DNS and other routing information when it's turned on. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers.
DESCRIPTION Router Local IP IP Address Enter the LAN IP address you want to assign to your ZyXEL Device in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.1 (factory default). IP Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask of your network in dotted decimal notation, for example 255.255.255.0 (factory default).
70 for more details. The ZyXEL Device 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.
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the ZyXEL Device as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the ZyXEL Device 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.
The ZyXEL Device supports the IPCP DNS server extensions through the DNS proxy feature. If the DHCP is set to Relay, the ZyXEL Device tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS query to the ZyXEL Device, the ZyXEL Device acts as a DNS proxy and forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer.
• Both - the ZyXEL Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives. • In Only - the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets received.
The ZyXEL Device supports IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1), IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2) and IGMP version 3 (IGMP-v3). At start up, the ZyXEL Device queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the ZyXEL Device periodically updates this information.
9.1 Overview The ZyXEL Device usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN to the Internet. To have the ZyXEL Device send data to devices not reachable through the default gateway, use static routes.
This is the name that describes or identifies this route. This is the number of times the route was used. Edit Click this to go to the screen where you can set up a static route on the ZyXEL Device. You cannot edit the default routes. Drop Click this to remove a static route from the ZyXEL Device.
Metric This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyXEL Device uses. The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1"...

Therefore, each octet has a possible range of 00000000 to 11111111 in binary, or 0 to 255 in decimal. The following figure shows an example IP address in which the first three octets (192.168.1) are the network number, and the fourth octet (16) is the host ID. P-660R-Tx v3 User’s Guide...
Subnet masks can be referred to by the size of the network number part (the bits with a “1” value). For example, an “8-bit mask” means that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones and the remaining 24 bits are zeroes. P-660R-Tx v3 User’s Guide...
For example, 192.1.1.0 /25 is equivalent to saying 192.1.1.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.128. The following table shows some possible subnet masks using both notations. Table 54 Alternative Subnet Mask Notation ALTERNATIVE LAST OCTET LAST OCTET SUBNET MASK NOTATION (BINARY) (DECIMAL) 255.255.255.0 0000 0000 255.255.255.128 1000 0000 P-660R-Tx v3 User’s Guide...
The “borrowed” host ID bit can have a value of either 0 or 1, allowing two subnets; 192.168.1.0 /25 and 192.168.1.128 /25. The following figure shows the company network after subnetting. There are now two sub- networks, A and B. P-660R-Tx v3 User’s Guide...
Similarly, use a 27-bit mask to create eight subnets (000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110 and 111). The following table shows IP address last octet values for each subnet. Table 59 Eight Subnets SUBNET LAST BROADCAST SUBNET FIRST ADDRESS ADDRESS ADDRESS ADDRESS P-660R-Tx v3 User’s Guide...
You must also enable Network Address Translation (NAT) on the ZyXEL Device. Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address for your ZyXEL Device that is easy to remember (for instance, 192.168.1.1) but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
