7.3 The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on
their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
7.3.1 Before You Begin
Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to the Static DHCP
screen.
Use this screen to change your ZyXEL Device’s static DHCP settings. Click Network Setting >
Home Networking > Static DHCP to open the following screen.
Figure 46
Network Setting > Home Networking > Static DHCP
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
DNS Server 1-3 Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the
ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address).
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave the
IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply. If
you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second
User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have another
DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS server addresses
manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server, you must know the IP
address of a computer in order to access it.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes.
Cancel Click Cancel to restore your previously saved settings.
