ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide

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.

To change your ZyWALL’s port role settings, click NETWORK, WLAN and then the Port Roles tab. The screen appears as shown.

The radio buttons on the left correspond to Ethernet ports on the front panel of the ZyWALL. Ports 1 to 4 are all DMZ ports on the ZyWALL 70 and all LAN ports on the ZyWALL 5 or ZyWALL 35 by default. The radio buttons on the right are for the WLAN card.

Note: Your changes are also reflected in the LAN and/or DMZ Port Roles screen.
