# DHCP or Static Networking?

This section only applies if a network card is to be configured. If you do not need to configure a network interface you can skip on to chapter-bootable.

There are two different ways you can proceed from this point to configure your network. Dynamic will allow you to take advantage of a DHCP server to get all your configuration information. Static you become responsible for setting up your options.

To configure a Static Interface, Follow ch-network-static.

To configure a DHCP Interface, Follow ch-network-dhcpcd.
