Configuration
4.1 LAN Configuration
Item
Description
DHCP Client
Enables/disables the DHCP client function. If in IPv6 column, the
DHCPv6 client is enabled. DHCPv6 client supports all three meth-
ods of getting an IPv6 address – SLAAC, stateless DHCPv6 and
statefull DHCPv6.
•
disabled
– The router does not allow automatic allocation of
an IP address from a DHCP server in LAN network.
•
enabled
– The router allows automatic allocation of an IP
address from a DHCP server in LAN network.
IP Address
A fixed IP address of the Ethernet interface. Use IPv4 notation in
IPv4 column and IPv6 notation in IPv6 column. Shortened IPv6
notation is supported.
Subnet Mask / Prefix
Specifies a Subnet Mask for the IPv4 address. In the IPv6 column,
fill in the Prefix for the IPv6 address – number in range 0 to 128.
Default Gateway
Specifies the IP address of a default gateway. If filled-in, every
packet with the destination not found in the routing table is sent to
this IP address. Use proper IP address notation in IPv4 and IPv6
column.
DNS Server
Specifies the IP address of the DNS server. When the IP address
is not found in the Routing Table, the router forwards the request
to DNS server specified here. Use proper IP address notation in
IPv4 and IPv6 column.
Table 11: Configuration of the Network Interface – IPv4 and IPv6
The
Default Gateway
and
DNS Server
items are only used if the
DHCP Client
item is set
to
disabled
and if the Primary or Secondary LAN is selected by the Backup Routes system as
the default route. (The selection algorithm is described in section
). Since FW 5.3.0,
Default
Gateway
and
DNS Server
are also supported on bridged interfaces (e.g. eth0 + eth1).
The following three items (in the table below) are global for the configured Ethernet interface.
Only one bridge can be active on the router at a time. The
DHCP Client
,
IP Address
and
Subnet
Mask / Prefix
parameters of the only one of the interfaces are used to for the bridge. Primary
LAN has higher priority when both interfaces (eth0, eth1) are added to the bridge. Other inter-
faces can be added to or deleted from an existing bridge at any time. The bridge can be created
on demand for such interfaces, but not if it is configured by their respective parameters.
