There is a lot more parameters which are not displayed here and that you can display using the up/down keyboard
keys to move through the parameters list.
Lower case parameters are configuration, upper case ones are related to the resulting situation (connection) and
give you information about the current status.
For example, the value IP4.ADDRESS[1] is interesting and returns in this case 192.168.1.10/24. Note the /24 at the
end which represent the netmask.
7.1.2 DHCP
By default, the gateway has a DHCP client waiting for an IP address and other configuration from a DHCP server. This
is the most standard and simple way to manage it. If you have found an IP address at the previous step, it means
you have a DHCP server which is configured correctly.
You can then either use the IP address or the mDNS hostname if you are in the same sub-network.
