Router – LAN Settings

LAN Settings

Overview

This document is designed to guide you through the setup of the BCM50

Integrated Router LAN Settings. The LAN settings define the BCM50

Integrated Router Card LAN IP Address, DHCP mode, and additional features

such as IP Alias and Multicast.

Note: This guide relates to the BCM50a/ba and BCM50e/be models only.

Note: Although the BCM50a/ba models will not be supplied with BCM 6.0, it is

possible to upgrade the variants of these models to BCM 6.0, if they were

originally supplied with BCM50 R2 or BCM50 R3 software.

Note: The BCM50 Integrated Router is almost identical to the Business

Secure Router (BSR) models. BCM50a/ba routers are based on the BSR252

and BCM50e/be routers are based on the BSR222.

LAN IP Address

It will be necessary to define the IP address of the BCM50 Integrated Router

card. The Router Card LAN IP address will generally be the default gateway

for network devices (e.g. PCs, IP Phones) connected to the BCM50 Integrated

LAN interfaces.

DHCP

The BCM50 Integrated Router can provide DHCP (Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol) service to network clients. DHCP allows a network

administrator to supervise and distribute IP addresses – and other network

settings such as default gateways and DNS servers - from a central location.

This service dynamically assigns IP addresses to network computers and IP

telephones, so you do not need to manually assign an IP address. It can also

automatically assign a new IP address if a device connects to a different place

in the network.

There should be only one DHCP Server on a network. It is recommended that

if enabling DHCP, the BCM50 Router be the only DHCP Server on the

network on which it is to be installed.

Note: The DHCP range to be issued to DHCP clients should be on the same

network range as the Router Card LAN IP Address. For example, if the Router

Card LAN IP Address is 192.168.110.1, the DHCP start address should be

somewhere in the 192.168.110.x range (following subnet rules).
