VLAN DHCP Options
For each VLAN, you need to specify the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
options (see Configure a VLAN Profile on page 51). The configuration of the DHCP options
for the wireless VPN firewall’s default VLAN, or VLAN 1, is explained in Configure the IPv4
Internet Connection on page 24. This section provides further information about the DHCP
options.
DHCP Server
The default VLAN (VLAN 1) has the DHCP server option enabled by default, allowing the
wireless VPN firewall to assign IP, DNS server, WINS server, and default gateway addresses
to all computers connected to the wireless VPN firewall’s LAN. The assigned default gateway
address is the LAN address of the wireless VPN firewall. IP addresses are assigned to the
attached computers from a pool of addresses that you need to specify. Each pool address is
tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. When you create a new
VLAN, the DHCP server option is disabled by default.
For most applications, the default DHCP server and TCP/IP settings of the wireless VPN
firewall are satisfactory.
