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.
