3. In the DHCP section, select Disable DHCP Server, Enable DHCP Server, or DHCP

By default, the VPN firewall will function as a DHCP server, providing TCP/IP
configuration settings for all computers connected to the VPN firewall's LAN. If another
device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure all
devices, click Disable DHCP Server. If the VPN firewall will function as a DHCP relay
agent, select DHCP Relay and enter the IP address of the DHCP relay gateway in the
Relay Gateway field.
If the DHCP server is enabled, enter the following parameters:
• Domain Name. (Optional) The DHCP will assign the entered domain to DHCP
clients.
• Starting IP Address. Specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address
pool. Any new DHCP client joining the LAN will be assigned an IP address between
this address and the Ending IP Address. The IP address 192.168.1.2 is the default
start address.
• Ending IP Address. Specifies the last of the contiguous addresses in the IP address
pool. The IP address 192.168.1.100 is the default ending address.
Note: The starting and ending DHCP addresses should be in the same
subnet as the LAN IP address of the VPN firewall (the IP address
configured in the LAN TCP/IP Setup section of the LAN Setup
screen).
• Primary DNS Server. (Optional) If an IP address is specified, the VPN firewall will
provide this address as the primary DNS server IP address. If no address is specified,
the VPN firewall will provide its own LAN IP address as the primary DNS server IP
address.
• Secondary DNS Server. (Optional) If an IP address is specified, the VPN firewall will
provide this address as the secondary DNS server IP address.
• WINS Server. (Optional) Specifies the IP address of a local Windows NetBIOS Server
if one is present in your network.
• Lease Time. This specifies the duration for which IP addresses will be leased to
clients.
If you will use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication server for
network-validated domain-based authentication, select Enable LDAP Information to
enable the DHCP server to provide LDAP server information. Enter the following
parameters:
• LDAP Server. Specifies the name or the IP address of the device that hosts the LDAP
server.
• Search Base. Specifies the distinguished name (dn) at which to start the search,
specified as a sequence of relative distinguished names (rdn), connected with
