15.1 Overview

By default, the four LAN interfaces on the SBG3500-N Series are in the same group and can
communicate with each other. Creating a new interface will create a new LAN bridge interface
(subnet) (for example, 192.168.2.0/24) that acts as a dependent LAN network, and is a different
subnet from default LAN subnet (192.168.1.0/24).

15.2 The Interface Group/VLAN Screen

You can manually add a LAN interface to a new group. Alternatively, you can have the SBG3500-N
Series automatically add the incoming traffic and the LAN interface on which traffic is received to an
interface group when its DHCP Vendor ID option information matches one listed for the interface
group.
Use the LAN screen to configure the private IP addresses the DHCP server on the SBG3500-N
Series assigns to the clients in the default and/or user-defined groups. If you set the SBG3500-N
Series to assign IP addresses based on the client's DHCP Vendor ID option information, you must
enable DHCP server and configure LAN TCP/IP settings for both the default and user-defined
groups. See Chapter 8 on page 159
Use the Interface Group/VLAN screen to create a new interface group, which is a new LAN bridge
interface (subnet). Click Network Setting > Interface Group/VLAN to open the following
screen.
