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 (

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.
