The LAN IP SET-UP MENU contains options used to enable the router to be recognized as an Internet Protocol device
on the network, to negotiate IP routes and to route IP data packets on the LAN.
1 – Secondary IP Set-Up
The Secondary IP Set-up option takes you to the Secondary IP set-up Menu, where this router may be configured to use
secondary IP addresses on the local network for local routing.
2 – LAN – NAT Set-Up
The LAN-NAT set-up option takes you to the LAN-NAT set-up Menu, where Network Address Translation parameters
for the primary LAN may be assigned. This option would be used when NAT is to be used between the primary LAN and
the secondary LAN(s).
3 – IP Address
The IP Address option defines an Internet Protocol (IP) address and corresponding subnet size for the router. The
router requires an IP address.
The router supports SNMP that uses UDP for message transmission, and UDP runs on top of IP. An IP address is
also required to connect to other routers across the LAN by using Telnet (for example, from a remote router to a local
bridge).
The IP address consists of 4 octets and is represented by 4 fields separated by periods ("."), where each field is specified
by a decimal number (e.g. 92.3.1.10). Each decimal number must be less than or equal to 255, that is the maximum
value of each 8-bit field.
The size of subnet mask variable defines the number of bits in an IP address to be used for network and subnetwork
addressing (the remainder being used for host addressing). Subnetting allows multiple logical networks within a single
standard IP network address.
Note: after changing the IP address of this device, a soft reset must be performed to bring the change into effect.
