LAN.
To add a “Segmented LAN behind gateway”, in the “Manage LAN segments”
window(reached by clicking the “Local Area Networks (LAN)” text under the
“Setup Subsystems” heading to the left of the screen in the “Configuration”
context), click “Add new”. The “Create new LAN-segment” window appears. For
the type of LAN, choose “Segmented LAN behind gateway” and click “Next”.
You are asked to provide a label, a network address, a netmask and a gateway
for the segmented LAN. There is no prescribed format for the label. You are
encouraged to choose a label describing the segmented LAN or it's purpose. In
the below example we use “seg1”.
Like any local network, a segmented LAN has it's own unique network address.
For more information on network addresses and their corresponding net masks,
see paragraph 1.6.1 “ Setting up your LAN connection“. Enter a network
address and a netmask for the segmented LAN. (In the example below we used
the network address 192.168.8.0 with the corresponding netmask of
255.255.255.0).
A segmented LAN can be reached through a gateway connected to a LAN
connected to the firewall. The address of this gateway machine on the directly
connected LAN is the gateway address we need so the firewall will know how to
reach the newly defined segmented LAN. Enter the gateway address and click
“Next”.
3.2 Modifying or deleting Local Area Networks
To modify an existing LAN (segmented or directly connected), click the “Edit”
button left of the LAN's label in the “Manage LAN-segments” screen (reached
by clicking the “Local Area Networks (LAN)” text under the “Setup Subsystems”
heading to the left of the screen in the “Configuration” context). The steps for
modifying a LAN are essentially the same as those for creating a new LAN
described in the previous paragraphs.
