4.0 Configuration
LAN DHCP
A IPn4G may be configured to provide dynamic host control protocol (DHCP) service to all
attached (either wired or wireless (WiFi)-connected) devices. By default the DHCP service is
enabled, so devices that are connected to the physical Ethernet LAN ports, as well as any
devices that are connected by WiFi will be assigned an IP by the IPn4G. The LAN DHCP
service is available for each interface, and is located in the add/edit interface menus.
The option is used to enable or disable the DHCP service for
devices connected to the LAN Port and devices connected
through a Wireless connection. This includes VIP connected as
clients and other wireless devices such as 802.11 connections.

are no other devices -

address information at the
request of a DHCP Client,
which receives the
information.)
