The following table describes the labels in this screen.
6.4 The Client List Screen
Use this table to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
Table 22 Network > LAN > DHCP Server
LABEL DESCRIPTION
DHCP Setup
Active DHCP
Server
Select this to have your ZyXEL Device assign IP addresses, an IP default
gateway and DNS servers to LAN computers and other devices that are
DHCP clients.
If you do not check this, the DHCP server will be disabled. You need to
manually configure the IP addresses of the computers and other devices
on your LAN.
When DHCP is used, the following fields need to be set.
IP Pool Starting
Address
This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address
pool.
Pool Size This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.
DNS Server
First DNS
Server
Second DNS
Server
Third DNS
Server
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address).
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. If you chose User-
Defined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined
changes to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-
Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must
have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have
their DNS server addresses manually configured. If you do not configure
a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to
access it.
Apply Click this to save the changes.
