Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

• DHCP Server
The DHCP Server offers centralized management of TCP/IP client configurations, including
IP addresses, gateway addresses, and DNS addresses. Upon startup, each network client
receives its TCP/IP settings automatically from the SonicWALL DHCP Server.

• DHCP Client

DHCP Client allows the SonicWALL to acquire TCP/IP settings (such as IP address, gateway
address, DNS address) from your ISP. This is necessary if your ISP assigns you a dynamic
IP address.
• DHCP over VPN
DHCP over VPN allows a Host (DHCP Client) behind a SonicWALL obtain an IP address lease
from a DHCP server at the end of a VPN tunnel. In some network deployments, it is desirable
to have all VPN networks residing in one IP subnet address space. This facilitates address
administration for the networks using VPN tunnels.

site-to-site lines.
• VPN Client Software for Windows
Mobile users with dial-up Internet accounts can securely access remote network resources
with the SonicWALL VPN Client. The SonicWALL VPN Client establishes a private, encrypted
