Use the instructions in the following table to configure TCP/IP parameters for the LAN port.

"

LAN and DMZ IP addresses must be on separate subnets.

First DNS Server
Second DNS

Server
Third DNS

Server

The ZyWALL passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address (in the

order you specify here) to the DHCP clients.
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the

ZyWALL's WAN IP address). The IP Address field below displays the (read-only)

DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS

server's IP address in the IP Address field below. If you chose User-Defined, but

leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you save

your changes. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP

address, the second User-Defined changes to None after you save your changes.
Select DNS Relay to have the ZyWALL act as a DNS proxy. The ZyWALL's LAN IP

address displays in the IP Address field below (read-only). The ZyWALL tells the

DHCP clients on the LAN that the ZyWALL itself is the DNS server. When a

computer on the LAN sends a DNS query to the ZyWALL, the ZyWALL forwards

the query to the ZyWALL's system DNS server (configured in menu 1) and relays

the response back to the computer. You can only select DNS Relay for one of the

three servers; if you select DNS Relay for a second or third DNS server, that choice

changes to

None

after you save your changes.

Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a

DNS server, you must know the IP address of a machine in order to access it.

DHCP Server

Address

If Relay is selected in the DHCP field above, then type the IP address of the actual,

remote DHCP server here.

DESCRIPTION

TCP/IP Setup:

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your ZyWALL in dotted decimal notation

IP Subnet Mask

Your ZyWALL will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP

address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet

mask computed by the ZyWALL.

RIP Direction

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP direction. Options are:

Both, In Only, Out Only or None.

Version

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP version. Options are:

Multicast

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to

establish membership in a Multicast group. The ZyWALL supports both IGMP

version 1 (IGMP-v1) and version 2 (IGMP-v2). Press [SPACE BAR] and then

[ENTER] to enable IP Multicasting or select None (default) to disable it.

Edit IP Alias

The ZyWALL supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet

interface with the ZyWALL itself as the gateway for each LAN network. Press

[SPACE BAR] to select Yes and then press [ENTER] to display menu 3.2.1

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt [Press ENTER to Confirm…] to
