System DNS Server Address Assignment (if applicable)
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
computer before you can access it. The ZyXEL device uses a system DNS server (in the order you
specify here) to resolve domain names for VPN, DDNS and the time server.

DESCRIPTION
Enter a Subnet Mask appropriate to your network. a
Enter the Gateway IP Address of the neighboring device, if you know it. If
you do not, leave the Gateway IP Address field as 0.0.0.0.
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the ZyXEL device's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays
the (read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the
DNS server's IP address in the field to the right.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not
configure a system DNS server, you must use IP addresses when
configuring VPN, DDNS and the time server.
The MAC address field allows you to configure the WAN port's MAC
Address by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC address
from a computer on your LAN.
Select this option to use the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Select this option and enter the IP address of the computer on the LAN
whose MAC you are cloning. Once it is successfully configured, the
address will be copied to the rom file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not
change unless you change the setting or upload a different rom file. It is
advisable to clone the MAC address from a computer on your LAN even if
your ISP does not presently require MAC address authentication.
