Managing the dhcp service options {DHCP}
When a device connects to the network, the DHCP server assigns it a “dynamic” IP address for
the duration of the session. Most users have DHCP capability on their computer. To enable this
service on the Access Gateway, you can either enable the DHCP relay (routed to an external
DHCP server IP address), or you can enable the Access Gateway to act as its own DHCP
server. In both cases, DHCP functionality is necessary if you want to automatically assign IP
addresses to subscribers.
The Access Gateway and the “mirror” servers must use the same secret key.
