3.6 Ethernet service
3.6.1 Configuration of network parameters
The aim of this Section is:
3.
to configure your computer to be able to communicate with your Sunrise Internet Box.
4.
to display the "Network" parameters of your Sunrise Internet Box.
Your Sunrise Internet Box 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 Sunrise Internet Box 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
Sunrise Internet Box, the latter responds by indicating:
•
an address from the range defined in the configuration,
•
the sub-network mask,
•
the default gateway (address of your Sunrise Internet Box),
•
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.
