CONFIGURING THE

LAN PORTS

This section describes how to configure IP properties for the interfaces on the ADSL Barricade that communicate with your LAN computers.

Connecting via Ethernet

If you are using the ADSL Barricade with multiple PCs on your LAN, you must connect the LAN via an Ethernet hub to the device's LAN port, called [eth-0].

If you are using a single PC with the ADSL Barricade, you can connect the PC directly to the LAN port using an Ethernet cable.

You must assign a unique IP address to each device port that you use.

Configuring the LAN Port IP Address

The LAN IP address identifies the LAN port ([eth-0]) as a node on your network; that is, its IP address must be in the same subnet as the PCs on your LAN.

Definition: A network node can be thought of as any interface where a device connects to the network, such as the ADSL Barricade's LAN port and the network interface cards on your PCs. See IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets for an explanation of subnets.

You can change the default to reflect the set of IP addresses that you want to use with your network.
