LAN Setup
7.1 Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many
computers are attached. A LAN is usually located in one immediate area such as a
building or floor of a building.
The LAN screens can help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP
addresses.
• See Section 7.5 on page 129 for more information on LANs.
• See Appendix C on page 495 for more information on IP addresses and
subnetting.

the LAN to specific individual computers based on their MAC Addresses.
