LAN

LAN IP Address

IP address for the Broadband VPN Gateway, as seen from the local

 

LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your

 

LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an

 

unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.

 

 

Subnet Mask

The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")

 

networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN

 

segment to which the Broadband VPN Gateway is attached (the same

 

value as the PCs on that LAN segment).

 

 

DHCP Server

If Enabled, the Broadband VPN Gateway will allocate IP Ad-

 

dresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up.

 

The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.

 

If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be

 

Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to

 

treat the Broadband VPN Gateway as the default Gateway. See the

 

following section for further details.

 

The Start IP Address, Number of IP Address Pool, Client Side

 

DNS and DHCP Lease Time fields set the values used by the

 

DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This

 

range also determines the number of DHCP clients supported.

 

See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
