• DHCP and DNS Configuration
Some comments on
figure 4
.
Routed means a ‘routed WAN service’ and Bridged means a ‘bridged WAN service.’
DHCP Server and DHCP Relay cannot be used simultaneously.
NAT can be used only if a Routed WAN service is configured.
1
If a DHCP Server were used with a Bridged WAN service, the DHCP server would respond to IP address
requests from both interfaces, that is, the Ethernet and the WAN serial interfaces.
2
When NAT is used together with DHCP Relay, the WAN service must be routed.
3
When DHCP Relay is used with a Bridged WAN service, the DHCP server must be on the same subnet
as the clients and the OnSite.
DHCP Server
Go to the DHCP Server webpage from the Configuration Menu --> Services Configuration --> DHCP Server.
The DHCP server default is disabled. Click on the Enable button to begin the configuration process.
