The aim of this section is:
1) to configure your computer so that it is able to communicate with your router.
2) and 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
), whether or not it is connected to
your router, 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.
The configured range of IP addresses must be the same in the sub-network as in
the LAN interface.
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.
