Enable Dhcp Server - SonicWALL TELE3 SP Administrator's Manual

Enable DHCP Server

To configure the SonicWALL DHCP server for the LAN, complete the following instructions.
1. Select the Enable DHCP Server.
Note: Make sure there are no other DHCP servers on the LAN before you enable the DHCP
server.
2. Enter the maximum length of the DHCP lease in the Lease Time field. The Lease Time
determines how often the DHCP Server renews IP leases. The default Lease Time is 60
minutes. The length of time can range from 1 to 9999 minutes.
3. If configuring DHCP server for the LAN, enter the gateway address used by LAN computers
to access the Internet in the LAN Default Gateway field. Enter the SonicWALL LAN IP
Address if NAT is enabled.
4. If configuring DHCP server for the LAN, enter the gateway address used by LAN computers
to access the Internet in the LAN Default Gateway field. Enter the SonicWALL LAN IP
Address if NAT is enabled.
5. Enter the domain name registered for your network in the Domain Name field. An
example of a domain name is "your-domain.com". If you do not have a domain name, leave
this field blank.
6. Select Set DNS Servers using the SonicWALL Network settings to use the DNS
servers that you specified in the SonicWALL Network section.
If you wish to use different DNS servers than the ones specified in the SonicWALL Network
section, then select Specify Manually. Enter your DNS Server addresses in the DNS Server
1, DNS Server 2, and DNS Server 3 fields. The DNS servers are used by computers on your
LAN to resolve domain names to IP addresses. You only enter one DNS Server address, but
multiple DNS entries improve performance and reliability.
7. Enter your WINS Server address(es) in the WINS Server 1 and WINS Server 2 fields.
WINS Servers resolve Windows-based computer names to IP addresses. If you do not
have a WINS server, leave these fields blank.
8. Dynamic Ranges are the ranges of IP addresses dynamically assigned by the DHCP
server. The Dynamic Ranges should be in the same subnet as the SonicWALL LAN IP
Address.
9. Enter the beginning IP address of your LAN IP address range in the Range Start field.
Enter the ending IP address in the Range End field. Select the Allow BootP clients to
use range check box if you want BootP clients to receive IP leases. Then click Update.
When the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the update is displayed at
the bottom of the browser window. Continue this process until you have added all the
desired dynamic ranges.
10. Enter the beginning IP address of your LAN IP address range in the Range Start field.
Enter the ending IP address in the Range End field. Select the Allow BootP clients to
use range check box if you want BootP clients to receive IP leases. Then click Update.
