5.8 LAN Port Roles

Use the Port Roles screen to set ports as LAN, DMZ or WLAN interfaces. The LAN port role is not available on all models.

Connect wireless LAN Access Points (APs) to WLAN interfaces to extend the ZyWALL’s wireless LAN coverage. The WLAN port role allows the ZyWALL’s firewall to treat traffic from connected APs as part of the ZyWALL’s WLAN. You can specify firewall rules for traffic going to or from the WLAN. The WLAN includes the ZyWALL’s own WLAN and the Ethernet ports in the WLAN port role.

The following figure shows the ZyWALL with a wireless card installed and an AP connected to an Ethernet port in the WLAN port role.

Figure 39 WLAN Port Role Example

Note: Do the following if you are configuring from a computer connected to a LAN, DMZ or WLAN port and changing the port's role:

1.A port's IP address varies as its role changes, make sure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the ZyWALL's LAN, DMZ or WLAN IP address.

2.Use the appropriate LAN, DMZ or WLAN IP address to access the ZyWALL.
