4- Configuration of network parameters
The aim of this section is:
1. to configure your computer so that it is able to communicate with your router.
2. to display the "Networks" parameters of your router.
Your router implements the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, relay and client functions
in accordance with RFC 2131 and RFC 3132, whereas the computer connected directly to the router or via
a local network by its LAN interface implements only the DHCP client function.
On receipt of a DHCP query from your computer (see
the latter responds by indicating:
• an address from the range defined in the configuration,
• the sub-network mask,
• the default gateway (address of your router),
• the address of the gateway as DNS server. The "DNS Relay" function is activated automatically.
Note
The configured range of IP addresses must be the same in the sub-network as in
the LAN interface.
Important
It is imperative that your computer is configured as a DHCP client or that it has a
fixed IP address in the configuration range defined by the DHCP server.
Configuration as a DHCP client is the more commonly used solution.
