Configuring General DHCP Settings

NOTE: This screen is available at the Group level only.

This section describes how to configure general DHCP settings for a group of appliances. The settings in the Policies > DHCP > Settings page apply to all appliances in the selected group, depending on their inheritance settings.

To configure general IP, complete the following steps:

1	Select the global icon or a group name.

2	Expand the DHCP tree and click Settings. The DHCP Server Settings page displays.

 

3	Select from the following:

•	To enable the DHCP server, select Enable DHCP Server.

•	To disable the DHCP server, deselect Enable DHCP Server.

•	To enable conflict detection, select Enable Conflict Detection.

•	To disable conflict detections, deselect Enable Conflict Detection.

•	To disable the DHCP server and configure computers on the LAN (WorkPort) to use a DHCP server outside the firewall, deselect Enable DHCP Server and select Allow DHCP Pass Through.

•

When the Enable DCHP Server Persistence is selected, the setting allows the current state of the DCHP leases in the network to be periodically written to Flash. Upon reboot, the system restores the previous DHCP Server network DHCP IP allocation knowledge based upon the IP/Lease times stored in Flash.

4	When you are finished, click Update. The settings are saved. To clear all screen settings and start over, click Reset.
