3Add a name for the DHCP server.

4Select the interface

5Configure the DHCP server.

The IP range must match the subnet address of the network from which the DHCP request was received. Usually this would be the subnet connected to the interface for which you are added the DHCP server.

6Select OK to save the DHCP server configuration.

To configure multiple DHCP servers for an interface

If an interface is connected to a network that includes routers connected to different subnets, you can:

1Configure computers on the subnets to get their IP configuration using DHCP. The IP range of each DHCP server must match the subnet addresses.

2Configure the routers for DHCP relay.

3Add multiple DHCP servers to the interface, one for each subnet.

When a computer on one of the connected subnets sends a DHCP request it is relayed to the FortiGate interface by the router, using DHCP relay. The FortiGate unit selects the DHCP server configuration with an IP range that matches the subnet address from which the DHCP request was received and uses this DHCP server to assign an IP configuration to the computer that made the DHCP request. The DHCP configuration packets are sent back to the router and the router relays them to the DHCP client.

Exclude range

Add up to 16 exclude ranges of IP addresses that FortiGate DHCP servers cannot assign to DHCP clients. Exclude ranges apply to all FortiGate DHCP servers.
