LAN
8.1  Overview
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are 
attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or 
floor of a building. The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server, manage IP 
addresses, and partition your physical network into logical networks.

8.2  What You Need To Know
The actual physical connection determines whether the NBG-418N ports are LAN or WAN ports. 
There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN 
network as shown next.
