<title>Connecting to a Network</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The LFS book covers setting up networking by connecting to a LAN
|
|
with a static IP address. There are other methods used to obtain an IP
|
|
address and connect to a LAN and other networks (such as the Internet).
|
|
The most popular methods (DHCP and PPP) are covered in this chapter.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol
|
|
used by many sites to automatically provide information such as IP addresses,
|
|
subnet masks and routing information to computers. If your network uses
|
|
DHCP, you will need a DHCP client in order to connect to it.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a data link protocol
|
|
commonly used for establishing authenticated IP connections over
|
|
a phone line with a modem, or over radio waves with a cellular phone. There
|
|
is also a variant (PPPoE) that works over Ethernet and is used by cable
|
|
providers to authenticate the Internet connections.</para>
