8.5  LAN Additional Subnet

Use this

 

screen to configure IP alias and public static IP.

IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the same Ethernet 
interface. The Zyxel Device supports multiple logical LAN interfaces via its physical Ethernet interface 
with the Zyxel Device itself as the gateway for the LAN network. When you use IP alias, you can also 
configure firewall rules to control access to the LAN's logical network (subnet).

If your ISP provides the 

Public LAN

 service, the Zyxel Device may use a LAN IP address that can be 

accessed from the WAN.
