LAN IP Configuration:
•
IP address -
for the
Dual WAN VPN Firewall
, 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
Dual WAN VPN Firewall
is attached (the same value as the PCs on that LAN.
DHCP server configuration :
•
DHCP Server Setup -
If
enabled,
the Dual WAN VPN Firewall
will
allocate IP
Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they
start up. The default and
recommended value is "Enable". (Windowssystems, by default, act as DHCP clients. This
setting is called
Obtain an
IP address automatically.)
•
DHCP Server Setup -
If you are already using a DHCP Server, the
DHCP Server
setting must be
disabled,
and the existing DHCP server
must be set to provide the IP
address of the VPN Dual WAN VPN Firewall
as the
Default Gateway
•
Client Lease Time –
It is a certain period of time that a DHCP server leases
an IP address
to a DHCP client.
DHCP IP address range
•
Offered Range
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.
•
Free Entries
indicates how many DHCP entries are not currently
allocated, and still
available.
ARP Proxy
Enable this ONLY if the LAN port has an IP address in the same address range as the
WAN port(s). This means that all PCs using this Gateway must have valid fixed
external (Internet) IP addresses. If enabled, enter the IP address range used on your
LAN.
LAN Any IP Setup
By default is disabled. If you enable “LAN any IP”, that means no matter what static IP
address hold on the client (your PC). The clients do not need to
change the IP
address, even though it has different IP segment than LAN segment, it still can access
Internet through NAT.
