Home Networking
8.1 Overview
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many networking devices
are connected. It is usually located in one immediate area such as a building or floor of a building.
Use the LAN screens to help you configure a LAN DHCP server and manage IP addresses.
8.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
•Use the LAN Setup screen to set the LAN IP address, subnet mask, and DHCP settings of your
VMG (Section 8.2 on page 113).
•Use the Static DHCP screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers
based on their MAC Addresses (Section 8.3 on page 117).
•Use the UPnP screen to enable UPnP and UPnP NAT traversal on the VMG (Section 8.4 on page
118).
•Use the Additional Subnet screen to configure IP alias and public static IP (Section 8.5 on page
121).
•Use the STB Vendor ID screen to configure the Vendor IDs of the connected Set Top Box (STB)
devices, which have the VMG automatically create static DHCP entries for the STB devices when
they request IP addresses (Section 8.6 on page 122).
•Use the Wake on LAN screen to remotely turn on a device on the network. (Section 8.7 on page
122).
