CHAPTER 12
LAN
12.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or
floor of a building. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP
addresses, and partition your physical network into logical networks.
Figure 77 LAN Example

•Use the IP screen (Section 12.4 on page 111) to change the IP address for your Router.
•Use the IP Alias screen (Section 12.5 on page 111) to have the Router apply IP alias to create
LAN subnets.
