Black Box LES1316A, LES1332A, LES1408A Configure the Dhcp server,  Check Enable Dhcp Server

Note You can configure the second Ethernet port as either a gateway port or as an OOB/Failover port (but not both). Make sure you did not allocate Network 2 as the Failover Interface when you configured the principal Network connection on the System: IP menu.

The management gateway function is now enabled with default firewall and router rules. By default, these rules are configured so the Management LAN can only be accessible by SSH port forwarding. This ensures that the remote and local connections to Managed Devices on the Management LAN are secure. You can also configure the LAN ports in bridged mode (as described later in this chapter) or you can configure them from the command line.

DHCP Server field (or directly go to the System: DHCP Server menu.

Optionally, enter a Domain Name suffix to issue DHCP clients.
