ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance
Table 4. Setup Wizard Step 1: LAN Settings screen settings
Setting Description
LAN TCP/IP Setup
IP Address Enter the IP address of the UTM’s default VLAN (the factory default address is
192.168.1.1).
Note: Always make sure that the LAN port IP address and DMZ port IP address are in
different subnets.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the UTM’s default VLAN while being
connected through the browser, you are disconnected. You then need to open a new
connection to the new IP address and log in again. For example, if you change the
default IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.0.1, you now need to enter https://10.0.0.1
in your browser to reconnect to the web management interface.
Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an
IP address. The UTM automatically calculates the subnet mask based on the IP
address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use 255.255.255.0
as the subnet mask (computed by the UTM).
DHCP
Disable DHCP Server If another device on your network is the DHCP server for the default VLAN, or if you will
configure the network settings of all of your computers manually, select the Disable
DHCP Server radio button to disable the DHCP server. By default, this radio button is
not selected, and the DHCP server is enabled.
Enable DHCP Server Select the Enable DHCP Server radio button to enable the UTM to function as a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, providing TCP/IP configuration
for all computers connected to the default VLAN. Enter the following settings.
Domain Name This setting is optional. Enter the domain name of the UTM.
Starting IP
Address
Enter the starting IP address. This address specifies the first of the
contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Any new DHCP client
joining the LAN is assigned an IP address between this address and
the ending IP address. The IP address 192.168.1.2 is the default
starting address.
Ending IP
Address
Enter the ending IP address. This address specifies the last of the
contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Any new DHCP client
joining the LAN is assigned an IP address between the starting IP
address and this IP address. The IP address 192.168.1.100 is the
default ending address.
Note: The starting and ending DHCP IP addresses should be in the
same network as the LAN TCP/IP address of the UTM (that is, the IP
address in the LAN TCP/IP Setup section as described earlier in this
table).
