18 | <para>The LFS book covers setting up networking by connecting to a LAN
|
---|
19 | with a static IP address. There are other methods used to obtain an IP
|
---|
20 | address and connect to a LAN and other networks (such as the Internet).
|
---|
21 | The most popular methods (DHCP and PPP) are covered in this chapter.</para>
|

22 |
|
---|
23 | <para>DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol
|
---|
24 | used by many sites to automatically provide information such as IP addresses,
|
---|
25 | subnet masks and routing information to computers. If your network uses
|
---|
26 | DHCP, you will need a DHCP client in order to connect to it.</para>
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | <para>PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a data link protocol
|
---|
29 | commonly used for establishing authenticated IP connections over
|
---|
30 | a phone line with a modem, or over radio waves with a cellular phone. There
|
---|
31 | is also a variant (PPPoE) that works over Ethernet and is used by cable
|
---|
32 | providers to authenticate the Internet connections.</para>
