40.5.1 WAN DHCP

DHCP functionality can be enabled on the LAN, DMZ, WLAN or WAN as shown in Figure 393 on page 568. LAN DHCP has already been discussed. The ZyWALL can act either as a WAN DHCP client (IP Address Assignment field in menu 4 or menu 11.x.2 is Dynamic and the Encapsulation field in menu 4 or menu 11 is Ethernet) or None, (when you have a static IP). The WAN Release and Renewal fields in menu 24.4 conveniently allow you to release and/or renew the assigned WAN IP address, subnet mask and default gateway in a fashion similar to winipcfg.

Figure 393 WAN & LAN DHCP

The following table describes the diagnostic tests available in menu 24.4 for your ZyWALL and associated connections.
