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 (

P

rotocol) 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.

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.
