Configuring Multi Home LAN IPs

If you have computers on your LAN using different IP address ranges (for example, 172.16.2.0 or 10.0.0.0), then you can add “aliases” to the LAN port thereby giving computers on those networks access to the Internet. This allows the firewall to act as a gateway to additional logical subnets on your LAN. You can assign the firewall an IP address on each additional logical subnet

The Available Secondary LAN IPs table lists the secondary LAN IP addresses added to the router.

The IP Address is the “alias” added to the LAN port of the router. This will be the gateway for computers that need to access the Internet.

The Subnet Mask is the IPv4 Subnet Mask.
