The following network settings are used in this example, which are shown in the Web 
configuration pages below.  The ZyWAN could also be configured to do other things 
which are unrelated to this example and are not shown here. 

Setting 

Details 

Cellular 

The DNS servers passed to other computer will be obtained 
from the cellular network. 

Ethernet (eth0) 

192.168.1.1, subnet 255.255.255.0. 
ZyWAN will be the default gateway and DNS server to devices 
on its Ethernet network, assigning them addresses 192.168.1.10 
through 192.168.1.200. 

WiFi (wlan0) 

192.168.3.1, subnet 255.255.255.0 
WiFi will act as an access point (“master” mode) with SSID 
‘zywan’. 

ZyWAN will be the default gateway and DNS server to devices 
on the WiFi network, assigning them addresses 192.168.3.10 
through 192.168.3.200. 

Networking 

UDP ports 67 and 53 (DHCP and DNS) are allowed in the 
ZyWAN firewall, and NAT is configured for eth0 and wlan0 

 

Cellular setup 

The cellular page will depend on the model of ZyWAN and the network provider. 

Ethernet setup 

No Default Gateway or DNS Server addresses should be configured, because this will 
override the cellular network being the ZyWAN’s default route and obtaining its public 
DNS servers from that network.
