Configuration of network parameters
The aim of this Section is:
1.
to configure your computer to be able to communicate with your Sunrise Internet Box.
2.
to display the "Network" parameters of your Sunrise Internet Box.
Your Sunrise Internet Box implements the DHCP (

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.
