NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2
Enable DHCP Server Select the Enable DHCP Server radio button to enable the VPN firewall to function
as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, providing TCP/IP
configuration for all computers connected to the VLAN. Enter the following settings:
Domain Name This setting is optional. Enter the domain name of the VPN
firewall.
Start IP Enter the start IP address. This address specifies the first of
the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Any new
DHCP client joining the LAN is assigned an IP address
between this address and the end IP address. The default IP
address 176.16.2.100.
End IP Enter the end IP address. This address specifies the last of the
contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. Any new DHCP
client joining the LAN is assigned an IP address between the
start IP address and this IP address. The default IP address
176.16.2.254.
Note: The start and end DHCP IP addresses must be in the
same network as the LAN TCP/IP address of the VPN firewall
(that is, the IP address in the DMZ Port Setup section as
described earlier in this table).
Primary DNS
Server
This setting is optional. If an IP address is specified, the VPN
firewall provides this address as the primary DNS server IP
address. If no address is specified, the VPN firewall provides
its own LAN IP address as the primary DNS server IP address.
Secondary DNS
Server
This setting is optional. If an IP address is specified, the VPN
firewall provides this address as the secondary DNS server IP
address.
WINS Server This setting is optional. Enter a WINS server IP address to
specify the Windows NetBIOS server, if one is present in your
network.
Lease Time Enter a lease time. This specifies the duration for which IP
addresses are leased to clients.
DHCP Relay To use the VPN firewall as a DHCP relay agent for a DHCP server somewhere else
in your network, select the DHCP Relay radio button. Enter the following setting:
Relay Gateway The IP address of the DHCP server for which the VPN firewall
serves as a relay.
