DHCP SERVER
This chapter describes the configuration of the SonicWALL DHCP Server.
The SonicWALL DHCP Server distributes IP addresses, gateway addresses and DNS
server addresses to the computers on your LAN. To access the SonicWALL DHCP
Setup window, click DHCP on the left side of the browser window.
To configure the SonicWALL DHCP server, complete the following instructions.
1. Select Enable DHCP Server. If you want to have a DHCP server located
outside the SonicWALL appliance, check the Allow DHCP Pass
Through checkbox.
Note: Make sure there are no other DHCP servers on the LAN before you enable the
DHCP server.
2. Enter the maximum length of the DHCP lease in the Lease Time field. The Lease
Time determines how often the DHCP Server renews IP leases. The default Lease
Time is 60 minutes. The length of time may range from 1 to 9999 minutes.
3. Enter the gateway address used by LAN computers to access the Internet in the
Client Default Gateway field. Enter the SonicWALL LAN IP Address if NAT is en-
abled.
