Configuring DHCP services
Go to System > DHCP > Service to configure DHCP services. On each FortiGate
interface, you can configure a DHCP relay or add DHCP servers as needed.
On FortiGate 50 and 60 series units, a DHCP server is configured, by default, on the
Internal interface, as follows:
You can disable or change this default DHCP Server configuration.
These settings are appropriate for the default Internal interface IP address of
192.168.1.99. If you change this address to a different network, you need to change the
DHCP server settings to match.
