Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port
If you want the firewall to respond to a 'ping' from the Internet, click the ‘Respond to Ping on
Internet WAN Port’ check box. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your
firewall to be discovered. Don't check this box unless you have a specific reason to do so.
Configuring LAN IP Settings
The LAN IP Setup menu allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP. These
features can be found under the Advanced heading in the Main Menu of the browser interface.
LAN TCP/IP Setup
The firewall is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a
DHCP server. The firewall’s default LAN IP configuration is:
• LAN IP addresses—192.168.0.1
• Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks,
and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are:
• IP Address
This is the LAN IP address of the firewall.
• IP Subnet Mask
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the firewall. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet
Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached
through a gateway or router.
