2.2.8 Configuring Gateway Addresses for DHCP Clients
Gateways are necessary for DHCP clients to access servers/hosts outside the current

DHPC server provides the gateway addresses to DHCP clients as well while assigning
IP addresses to them.

you can configure up to eight gateway addresses for a DHCP address pool.
