The LAN Configuration Screens
5.1  Overview
Use the ADVANCED > LAN Configuration screens to set up the MAX-207HW2R 
on the LAN. You can configure its IP address and subnet mask, DHCP services, and 
other subnets. You can also control how the MAX-207HW2R sends routing 
information using RIP.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many 
computers are attached. A LAN is usually a computer network limited to the 
immediate area, such as the same building or floor of a building.
5.1.1  What You Can Do in This Chapter
• The DHCP Setup screen (
Section 5.2 on page 44
) lets you enable, disable, and 
configure the DHCP server in the MAX-207HW2R.
• The Static DHCP screen (
Section 5.3 on page 45
) lets you assign specific IP 
addresses to specific computers on the LAN.
• The IP Alias screen (
Section 5.4 on page 47
) lets you add subnets on the LAN 
port. You can also control what routing information is sent and received by each 
subnet.
• The Advanced screen (
Section 5.5 on page 49
) lets you control the routing 
information that is sent and received by each subnet assign specific IP 
addresses to specific computers on the LAN.
5.1.2  What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
IP Address
IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device 
(including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to 
communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as 
hosts.
