Dependencies Between Features
• It is impossible to configure DHCP server and DHCP client on the system at
the same time, meaning: if one interface is DHCP client enabled, it is
impossible to enable DHCP server globally.
• If DHCPv4 Relay is enabled, the device cannot be configured as a DHCP
server.
Default Settings and Configurations
• The device is not configured as a DHCPv4 server by default.
• If the device is enabled to be a DHCPv4 server, there are no network pools
of addresses defined by default.
Workflow for Enabling the DHCP Server Feature
To configure the device as a DHCPv4 server:
Enable the device as a DHCP server using the DHCP Server > Properties page.
If there are any IP addresses that you do not want to be assigned, configure them
using the Excluded Addresses page.
Define up to 8 network pools of IP addresses using the Network Pools page.
Configure clients that will be assigned a permanent IP address, using the Static
Hosts page.
Configure the required DHCP options in the DHCP Options page. This configures
the values to be returned for every relevant DHCP option.
Add an IP interface in the range of one of the configured DHCP pools in the
Network Pools page. The device answers DHCP queries from this IP interface. For
example: if the pool's range is 1.1.1.1 -1.1.1.254, add an IP address in this range, if
you want directly-connected clients to receive IP address from the configured
pool. Do this in the IP Configuration > IPv4 Interface page.
View the allocated IP addresses using the Address Binding page. IP addresses
can be deleted in this page.
