The feature is particularly useful in Auto Rollover mode. For example, if the DNS servers
for each connection are different, then a link failure may render the DNS servers

connection.

Configuring Multi-Home LAN IPs
If you have computers using different IP networks in the LAN, (for example., 172.16.2.0,
10.0.0.0), then you can add aliases to the LAN port and give computers on those networks ac cess
to the Internet.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the firewall while connected through
the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new
connection to the new IP address and log in again. For example, if you
change the default IP address 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.0.1, you must enter
http://10.0.0.1 in your browse r to connect to the web management
interface.
Note: Once you have completed the LAN IP setup, all outbound traffic is allowed
and all inbound traffic is discarded. To change these traffic rules, refer to
Chapter 4, “Firewall Protection and Content Filtering.”
