Factory-default IP settings

The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and network masks are listed in table 7. Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up. LAN interface ETH 0/1 (LAN) provides a default DHCP server, the WAN interface uses DHCP client to automatically assign the IP address and network mask.

Table 7. Factory default IP address and network mask configuration
