n Or you do not have DHCP server on your network, but you
would like to assign a static IP address to each device
connected to the LAN port of SA.
1. Select Disable radio button.
2. Assign a static IP address to each device connected to the LAN
port.
For example, you have four PCs, PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC4 connected to
the LAN port. You have to assign a UNIQUE static IP address i.e.
“192.168.0.34”, “192.168.0.25”, “192.168.0.18”, “192.168.0.108” to PC1,
PC2, PC3 and PC4 respectively. Note: The static IP addresses
assigned are all in the same subnet with SA. In Basic Settings, we set
“192.168.0.1” as private IP address of SA with a 255.255.255.0 subnet.
Therefore, the networked PCs need to belong to “192.168.0.x”.
•IP Alias
In Basic Settings, we’ve set the private IP address of SA as “192.168.0.1”.
We will assign the LAN ports of SA to the network of “192.168.0.x”. In
DHCP server settings, we’ve set the IP addresses of the LAN as
“192.168.0.x”. “192.168.0.x” includes “192.168.0.x”, and therefore is
considered to be in the same network. There is no problem if the network
interface contains only one IP address range, but if you want to assign
another IP addresses like “192.168.1.x” to the LAN, then there is an issue.
“192.168.1.x” and “192.168.0.x” are not in the same network. We need IP
Aliasing to resolve this issue. IP alias allows one network interface to
contain more than one network. It allows the additional network
“192.168.1.x” to be recognized by the SA.
Please follow the steps to add another network:
1. Enter “192.168.1.1” in IP Alias 1.
2. Enter “255.255.255.0” in Netmask of IP Alias 1.
3. Click the apply button.
Note that the IP Alias 1, 192.168.1.1 is assigned to SA and the network is
“192.168.1.x”.
