Link Layers

There are different ways of connecting your personal computer (PC) or mobile computing device to the Internet. Here are four
of the most common ways and how to connect to the Internet using them.

Dynamic IP Address (DHCP)

A DHCP of connection is where your internet connection is usually always on and your internet service provider automatically
provides you with an IP address. A DHCP connection is usually from a Cable internet service.

Static IP

To set up a Static IP connection, enter the following: IP Address of the Internet Connection, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway,
and both DNS Servers. This information can be obtained by either your Internet Service provider or Network Administrator. If
your internet service provider requires a username and password to connect, you will then be prompted to enter the correct
information.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for internet transmission. The factory default
MTU size of Static IP is 1500. If you wish to manually change the MTU size, set it between 512 and 1500.
