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:
1
Enable the device as a DHCP server using the
page.
2
If there are any IP addresses that you do not want to be assigned, configure
them using the
page.
3
Define the DHCP server and up to 8 network pools using the
page.
4
Configure clients that will be assigned a permanent IP address, using the
page.
5
Add an IP interface with an IP address in the address range of a network
pool. This is done in the case that the device, as an DHCP server, is to

Do this in the
6
View the allocated IP addresses using the
page. IP
addresses can be deleted in this page.
