ZyXEL NBG-334SH User’s Guide

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.

The ZyXEL Device is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 
192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the 
ZyXEL Device itself) in the lower range (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32) for other server 
computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have.

Refer to the IP address and subnet mask section in the Connection Wizard chapter.

The ZyXEL Device has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS 
servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.

The LAN parameters of the ZyXEL Device are preset in the factory with the following values:

• IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
• DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33. 

These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit 
DNS server address(es), read the embedded web configurator help regarding what fields need 
to be configured.
