DHCP Service
Understanding
The unit can be configured to act as a DHCP server. When enabled, this service will respond to DHCP
requests from any interface.
Configuring
The following shows an example of configuring DHCP service on the unit. The unit will administer IPv4
addresses from the 192.168.x.x network when requests are received from DHCP clients.
NOTE:
At least one of the unit’s interfaces (eth0 or br0 if eth0 is bridged) must be configured with an IP
address from this subnet.
