Configuring the LAN Ports

If your network uses a DHCP server (other than the ADSL Barricade) to assign IP addresses, you can configure the device to accept and use a LAN IP address assigned by that server. Similarly, if your ISP performs DHCP serving for your network, you can configure the device to accept an IP address assigned from the ISP's server.In this mode, the ADSL Barricade is considered as a DHCP client of your DHCP (or ISP's) server.

Note: The ADSL Barricade itself can function as a DHCP server for your LAN computers, as described in Configuring Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, but not for its own LAN port.

Follow the following steps to change the default LAN IP address or to configure the LAN port as a DHCP client:

1.Log into Configuration Manager and then click the [LAN] tab. The [LAN Configuration] page appears.
