  • Page 49 Configure La Fonera A.7.1. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) This protocol will be used by default, as you can see in the previous figure. This protocol should be suitable for most users. In this protocol, there is a server (usually the DSL router) that provides configuration data (IP address, gateway and others) to the devices connected to it (as the La Fonera+ will be).
  • Page 50 Configure La Fonera A.7.2. Static IP If your DSL router’s DHCP server is disabled, it’s possible that you are using a static IP. The difference between a dynamic IP and a static IP is that the former will be automatically assigned to your router (due to the DHCP server), and the lat- ter is defined to always be the same.
