LAN Clients
The LAN Clients menu is used when establishing Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security rules
for IP addresses on the LAN. This menu can be accessed directly by clicking on the
LAN Clients button or
hyperlink in the Advanced setup menu. You can also click on the New IP button located in the Port Forwarding,
Access Control and Advanced Security menus to access this menu. In order to use these advanced features it is
necessary to have IP addresses available for configuration. If there are no IP addresses listed in the LAN Clients
menu, it will not be possible to configure Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security.
Use the LAN Clients menus to add or delete static IP addresses for the advanced functions mentioned above, or
to Reserve a Dynamically assigned IP address for an advanced function. Dynamically assigned IP addresses will
only be listed if DHCP is enabled on the Router.
Figure 4-3. LAN Clients Setup
To add a static IP address to the list of available IP addresses, type an IP address that falls within the range a
available IP addresses and click on the
Add button. In the example above, available addresses range from
10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254. Any addresses added will appear in the list of Static Addresses available for
advanced configuration. These addresses can then be used in the other Port Forwarding, Access Control and
Advanced Security menus.
To delete an IP address from the list of Static Addresses, click the Delete box for the address or addresses you
want to eliminate and click on the Apply button.
Dynamically assigned IP addresses may be reserved so that the LAN IP address for the device does not expire.
This will create a permanent entry for the device in the ARP table and in effect, it becomes a static IP address.
Click to check the
Reserve box for the address or addresses you want to reserve and click the Apply button.
These reserved addresses will no longer be available for DHCP assignment and will be listed in the Static IP
Addresses table.
